Pantry is a must in most plans as is a soaking tub in primary . 

I’m in the 33% tax bracket through my real job and this could be a big difference in taxes owed if we sold the property?

It is worth noting that this is a completely different product from Sean's.

Repurpose the money into a variety of different options.

If you think about it in any industry less transparency and more friction in the transaction will increase fees/commission vs reducing them.I like the idea as an investor of having different agents, a team of agents maybe 3-4 bringing me deals, but I think less of that will happen now as all will have to have you sign some kind of agreement up front. 

Nomad also held the renter's deposit hostage even after I cleared the transfer with no damages to be charged.I had to remind Nomad there is a difference between “can” and should” , while you “can” hold a deposit longer it “should” only be done when there is a question about damages.My bank liked the guarantee, the disorganization inside Nomad and the horrible vendor management would cause me not to use them again.

I imagine the whole process is simpler but can anyone tell me how different it is when you don't borrow the rehab costs?

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

If you use the Heloc option and decide to rent it out, don't forget that property (or you) will have to cover both your primary and secondary position notes.I don't personally see Marin being a great mid term market.

However, it's a stationary RV and I believe that makes a difference.
