I had 2 or 3 called.Now again keep in mind I had zero interest in holding these as rentals and I ONLY bought homes that had significant equity for me.. mainly all pre foreclosures..

Is it better to keep adding equity by doing work on the houses while I'm renting them then refinance to recover the initial down-payment to reinvest into another property or to pay down the heloc?

Keep looking.

The document is pretty explicit with contingencies should anything go sideways along the way though so this helped a lot to keep everyone on task. we've built rapport at this point since we've been in constant communication from when we started but in the beginning, it was a lot of trust in the document.

So it helps keep the turnover lower.

Lastly, always keep your job and build your employment foundation because that keeps you income relevant and lendable.Hey thanks for your reply!

I always keep a lockbox at my locations for this purpose.

Then we keep the accounting straight via Quickbooks with each unit a different Class.

To make matters worse, not everything is listed on an MLS like in the US; many agents keep listings to themselves, which makes the market more opaque. 

I am with Nabers and would prefer to move to a platform that provides robust book keeping and filing services.
