Dang, Mike....another good one!

Quote from @Dave Skow: @Samuel Metcalf- sorry ...getting  heloc on the rental duplex  will be hard / impossible to obtain ....if you can  get one - it would be a great option to use for the  remodel / landscape ....if you have  50K equity in your primary -you likely dont have  ample equity position to get a HELOC  on it as the max  comboned loan to value for helc lenders is  85%  ( maybe  90% ) ...I would try getting helocs on both to see whats possible ...if no heloc is possible - use the cash on hand for the purchase down payment / closing costs / loan fee/ prepaids and then use future accumulated savings for landscaping Oh dang!

God forbid we actually elect people who know how to run the dang thing, no, we want to put a chimp right at the tippy-top of decision making power, what can go wrong....... 

Slap a Filipino VA on these leads and I wouldn't even need to open my email.Yes I am trying for you to feel that urge of "Dang it I need that too"Feel it.

I'm currently looking at new construction in one area but dang it's pricey.  

get estimates for having it done, and map out what you'll save (as the owner) not having to pay the utilities per year, and measure your COCR. let's say it would cost 10k to have the utilities all split (i have NO idea what it would really cost), and you'd save $450/mo not having to pay utilities (a somewhat reasonable estimate for a duplex with water/sewer, electric, gas).. that would be a 54% cash-on-cash return, making that investment up front. when many investors are looking for an 8-12% COCR, 54% sounds pretty dang good. it will also make the property more appealing for a future buyer if the utilities are separate. 

I think it's fine to risk a small portion of your net worth on a gamble, but everything else means betting the farm.Speaking of farm, here are 50 acres in Hilsboro for $3M https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/NW-West-Union-Rd-Hillsbor...Dang, maybe if I..?
