And for sure having sat through years and years of these events and talking to hundreds if not thousand students you can kind of tell who will do well and who probably does not have the chops to succeed..

I am willing to offer my services like social media marketing, branding, presentation, organizing events, crunching numbers for free.

Thus, our funds must be preserved for the event any of the tenants leave so we can improve and charge market rent.

Jackson nailed the answer to your first question.A HELOC is a line of credit using real estate as collateral.A credit card is a line using your credit as collateral (nothing).A business line of credit uses your business as collateral.A "PAL" or pledged asset line is a line of credit that uses your investments as collateral.Etc.All of them share in common that they are a line of credit; you draw what you need and only pay interest on what you use.Traditionally, lines of credit that have collateral are going to have much lower interest rates than those that don't, like credit cards, because in the event of default there is nothing to seize.

In the event they do not get rid of the dogs, they will owe a few grand by the time they can get the AB468 compliant ESA.

The thing people aren't talking about is that it is up to the buyers sole discretion on what house they want to purchase, who they want to help them accomplish that purchase and if they are willing or able to compensate a buyers agent in the unlikely event the seller is not offering cooperative compensation to the buyers agent.

I am probably going to try renting my unused basement for STR in any event due to incremental cash flow (STR loophole or not due) but wanted to check on the right accounting treatment. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tax-smart-real-estate-...
