@Femi IbrahimThanks for the post and a heads up.

Yes, you need amenities to stay ahead of competition and the more you stack the better!

I am just thinking ahead, just in case, but wanted to get input on what options I could have with current tenants in a lease that might not expire for close to 1-2 years from now in the event I "needed" to sell a house or two, either for a better cash position for myself, or to 1031 into a larger investment property, etc.?  

If photos aren't an option, a quick reinspect on 4 point will likely do the trick.If your county was declared a state of emergency ahead of the storm, the bank will likely follow up to tell you what they require.  

Thank you ahead of time!! 

Just wondering if you went ahead with Matt Hewitt?

. -  It's great that you're planning ahead and saving for your first house hack.

Rafael - I would just go ahead and ask the lender you're thinking about using for the cash-out refinance.

download the landlord tenant laws for your state.. google it and research so you know ahead of time before you call a lawyer,, you should have this information,, it's your bible.. 

The priority is finishing the basement.We are needing some input on if we should go ahead and move forward with this HELOC to help fund our future renovations/future investments or if we should be using our own cash.
