Your money is tied up in equity in your property that is hard to unlock. 

Finding out what you’re good at can help you unlock your greatest asset.

Hi all,I have a duplex in San Diego, CA.  Approximate numbers are $500K bank debt,  $800K ARV,  63% LTV.  It's a rental & I don't want to sell.I called PenFed about a HELOC, but they won't underwrite it because I ...

Heard of someone trying to charge $25 to show a property because he was out of state and had to hire someone to go unlock the doors but even that I think is ridiculous as it will cut off a large pool of buyers. 

The only time I heard someone got their TV's jacked was from using a cleaning partner they sourced on their own that allegedly "Left the doors unlocked" and all the TV's got stolen, during the set up phase before they had any bookings.

@Lisa Anderson I agree there is great need for Homeowner Consultants throughout the US.Starting a builder/contractor review website or social media pages is a great idea.Past customers of builders/contractors would post pictures and commentary added by the consultant as part of the posting/review.What stops you from selling current property ( unlock appreciation)at 550k and building a STVR duplex?

Clearly a very brief skim before the urge to unlock your word-hoard overwhelmed your feeble defenses. 

This will also let her unlock depreciation though so it's not a bad thing.And if she wants to gift back the rent to you she can do that under the regular annual limits or by accessing the lifetime gift limits.Stay tuned. 

In this scenario, you don’t need to unlock the equity until you are ready to redeploy it.  

This has convinced me that although REI is the door you walk through to get to the next "level", saving money is the key that unlocks it.
