Quote from @German E.: I don't recommend using a HELOC or cashing out equity in today's market.

We have a minimum income requirement to qualify for this unit (3 times monthly rent); based on your email, it appears you meet those qualifications.Regarding pets, we allow cats and most dog breeds except for the following:-any breeds/mixes known under common parlance as “Pit Bull”-Rottweiler-Doberman Pinscher-German Shepherd-Alaskan Malamute a.k.a “Husky”-Chow Chow-Great Dane-St.

All the stuff isn't germane to your current argument which is why this amount was kept from your security deposit.  

The 1921 German currency devaluations and the English sterling devaluations in 1925 were the primary factors that created global tariffs and a breakdown in global trade.In more recent history, the currency crisis in 1971 caused the real estate market crashes in 1973 and 1979.Brexit could destabilize the European nations called the PIGS (Portugal Ireland Greece and Spain) plus now Italy and these sovereign debt crisis can have a huge effect on the global economy. 

Longish story on use of an agent to sell a German condo.I sold a condo in Germany.  

We plan to pay the first 4 months rent along with the deposit to hopefully help us in that aspect.I have 3 kids and 2 large German Shepherds, so we need a house that allows pets.

I have put up temporary fencing to keep them out of the yard, but reality is when you have 2 German Shepherds that can easily jump a 4 ft standard fence it's hard.

They are hot in Whitehall, Campus, German Village, Grandview, Southern Orchards, etc.

The original house hack by German immigrants if you will.
