Doing short term deals with a bank is also not profitable for a bank, they need to see the money sit out there long term, book the loan, make interest, borrow more from the Fed and loan it out and build a portfolio, not recycle the same dollars.

My goal with the modeling is simply to ensure that I make the best use of the limited funds until I can refi and recycle the LOC.

At the end of the day if you make changes that a buyer would never pay extra for you're not in a good position even if you can dupe an appraiser into giving you some extra value.My intention here is, instead of selling, to keep the property as a long term BAH, and recycle the HELOC for other properties.

The reason is not just experience, but that timeline equates to more than just one RE cycle and squally equates to an ability to know a market inside and out.

I think my last white pages got recycled along with my other paper goods.

LED holiday lights as well, but they didn't shine as bright as the traditional type.Our local electric utility company gives CFLs away for free, six at a time, when you bring in your burned out ones for recycling.

Recycling and composting service is also required." 

It's something I haven't seen either so that leads me to believe that perhaps there's a reason for that.You know how commercial car washes are required to recycle their water?  

For more intrusive (expensive) upgrades, if necessary, then windows, mechanicals, wall insulation, appliances, non-offgassing and recycled / recyclable finishes. 

I've known people that were questioned about what they recycled, down to their contact lens cases.
