What's up @Kadeem Kamal - Awesome stuff! 

You can get a HELOC if there is equity in the property most likely, which there should be since you own it in cash, but you will just be decreasing your pay out and then may end up short in repair money, depending on how much it is worth.

That's simply not true.

If you own (2) properties free and clear you could simply do a cash out refinance. 

It's up to you how far to take this though.When we're faced with this, we try to hold the tenants accountable, by pushing hard to do self-showings.- Who better to show the house and speak positively about than a current tenant?

I'm bleeding money as I write this, the cost is pilling up as I need to repair the damages, and replace all the appliances, they damage the kitchen cabinets also.

@Mike Donovan in Narragansett, RI we wound up with a RI FAIR plan due to the fact we rented to students.

.: I haven't passed this past legal review so for what its worth: Part of my standard requirements for everyone include income is at least 3X rent, minimum credit score, say 640, Clean record and no evictions as well as deposit is paid in full at signing of lease and 1st month rent is paid in full prior to handing over the keys.

I updated the electrical, painted everything, and “cleaned the property up nicely” exterior and interior.

Still cracks me up.
