However my main question is what service can I use to report their rent regardless of tenant participating or not.

I might use the HELOC as an emergency fund knowing if I tap into it I now have to aggressively pay it down.Then main thing is you don't want to overleverage any property and if you use a second mortgage to buy a property, you are essentially 100% leveraged on that property.

I would not go with a brokerage whose main focus is SFR.

An activity is a rental activity if tangible property (real or personal) is used by customers or held for use by customers, and the gross income (or expected gross income) from the activity represents amounts paid (or to be paid) mainly for the use of the property.

Suited homes are about $450+K looking at some PM companies, you'd get about $2K in rent for the main floor and $1.2K for the basement.I also have places in BC.

Can't find a Deal in NWA? Finding it hard to make the numbers work? Savvy Investors know a secret - Invest Regionally! Opportunities abound out there, people are looking for your investment and willing to make it easy...

That's the main reason why I wouldn't worry if there were no hits in the first two days.

. $219k - now $500k market price in very southern Maine/NH border.

That being said ( and I will be interested to hear from some of the larger syndication groups ), I have found larger check writers (family offices hedge funds pref equity groups etc) often want some element of control and higher returns for their investment and so perhaps that is why larger operators accept smaller checks too. 

I know one of the main qualifiers is it has to be owner occupied - which is fine.Will there be any issues with this second purchase being in the same town as my first MF home?
