Kody, you need to investigate the Pace Subto group and pay to get in. 

The interest rate isn't that huge of a difference between the 15 and 30 so worst case scenario if you have the 30 year option is you start paying it down on a 15 year timeline - sure you'll pay a little more in interest over the 15 years, but it will have been worth it if you bought another house.

In reality, you are going to be the one to pay for that.  

I noticed that the previous owner let them pay half the security deposit and the other half later, which is a red flag.

@Shayan SameerThe non-paying tenant could impact your short-term cash flow, so consider the potential costs and timeline of eviction in your state.

Also, don't forget that, if you pay taxes, it means you're making a profit.2.

Grow wide first, then deep (pay off)- your little expenses add up fast

Has anybody dealt with Investors Edge and gotten 100% financing after paying $3995 membership fee?

If I recall correctly, Rent Redi even gives them the option to pay using a credit card. 

Then invest the $10k in something that pays more than the interest you’re paying on the HELOC.
