@Nathan GesnerYes the long term tenant is under market and I plan on gradually raising his rent.The other tenant is going through a divorce and is looking to buy a home.

You are seeing it already, the nicely renovated units are having to compete on price with vintage units, because we are in a market where a lot of people are worried about their job prospects, not anticipating getting raises, on top of groceries costing 30% more than they used to.  

A HELOC works like a credit card—you can borrow, repay, and borrow again, making it flexible for ongoing projects like flipping or renovations.

I just need to pay down my card utilization.

Supposedly the second lien holder is a credit card debt collector, they were listed as the defendant in the foreclosure case.

It would mean the costs are financed with the property and it raises your basis cost against future cap gains.

Ultimately I just raised rents and got better with outsourcing the maintenance in a cost effective way (wasn't doing that very well before).

In that example, I was imagining that the investor made upgrades and improvements AFTER closing, either with their own funds, a personal loan, credit cards, etc.  

Vote for politicians who won't raise the money supply by 40% again.
