For further learning, here are some solid bookkeeping books that can enhance your knowledge:"The Book on Managing Rental Properties" by Brandon Turner – This book covers not just the property management aspect but also has sections on bookkeeping and managing finances."

@Sebastian BennettSpecial Method Training Programs focus on a specific strategy, providing structure but not covering all questions or decisions as you grow your investments.

They seem to cover all sorts of topics, beyond investing, and certainly talk about real estate investing within the forums/courses, etc.  

Can I use her security deposit to cover these legal fees I've incurred due to her not moving out?

They find housing on own that can be covered by insurance if home uninhabitable and it is due to covered loss.

I'm interested in everyone's opinions on using a HELOC to purchase turn-key rentals for the short term and covering principal paydown across all new mortgages / loans ( HELOC ) through excess income. 

Using your example:ARV = $250K75% of ARV = $187.5KSo, theoretically, you could refinance up to $187.5K, which would cover your $150K (purchase + reno costs) and leave $37.5K in equity.

You'll have a deposit and you can file a claim for anything not covered.

But these days, it’s hard to find decent properties where the numbers work as far as covering the debt service with rental income.
