The last thing is that you've simply brought an additional partner into your management.

Originally posted by @Gene Cook:Also if you are selling your   property hopefully you making enough to pay off your heloc, since it typically require 70% max loan to valueTotally 1000 miles away from the subject at hand.However you brought back memories for me when I see your in Penn Valley.I worked for the developer who put in the last phase of Wildwood estates ( its the phase that is farthest to the north) and he owned the shopping center there in Penn Valley and the MHP behind it.. of course he went out in flames.. :( and I lost all my equity in Wildwood project.. that last phase was originally 540 lots.. we built the first 125 of them about 1989 .. and of course the war etc.. and we sold NOT one lot after that phase was built the county would not allow any more lots..

Also,  many good points have been brought up by some experienced people.  

I found tons of errors and brought it to their attention.

Still, I am not an expert in any of this.The key issue you brought up is how to get the profits / cash flow / money into your hands to pay the bills. 

But the real deals-he brought to me on a silver platter.

Well worth the time and effort in my personal opinion.I consider these ex tennats to be criminals and believe they should be brought to justice by landlords.

That is what brought me to real estate. 

THEN, analyse the properties within those markets that match the profiles you need that brought you to those markets to begin with. 

Rents were brought up to market with no vacancies so far!
