We are buy no means local as much husband is active duty navy so home is relative. 

Depending on where you're moving from you couldn't have picked a better time.I’m moving from Virginia Beach and moving under Navy orders.  

Is there a French drain already in the house?

I worked as a maid with my parents while growing up & we had to clean apartments BEFORE the painters arrived.Then, while I served in the Navy I learned that is in fact the correct order to do things.

Does anyone have a HELOC on a investment property with navy federal?

I think any STR needs to look clean, which is why we lean towards white and light shades of gray with only black or navy blue accents.

I just recently moved here from Virginia after serving almost 7 years in the Navy.

I also have my primary home that I just built two years ago but would like to leave that out of the equation.My question is about the best way to acquire the money to start investing.Currently Navy Federal offers the following equity options:Fixed-Rate Equity Loan0.25% rate discount with automatic paymentsClosing cost creditsRepayment term up to 20 yearsBorrow up to 100% of the property valueInterest-Only Fixed-Rate Equity Loan0.25% rate discount with automatic paymentsClosing cost credits20-year termBorrow up to 80% of the property valueFixed rate for the life of the loanHome Equity Line of Credit0.25% rate discount with automatic paymentsClosing cost creditsCredit line remains open for 20 yearsBorrow up to 95% of the property valueInterest-Only Home Equity Line of Credit0.25% rate discount with automatic paymentsClosing cost creditsCredit line remains open for 20 yearsBorrow up to 80% of the property valueFor all of you seasoned investors out there, what method would you go with and why?
