A very thorough inspection in the beginning is crucial to build a replacement plan for high dollar items such as the HVAC if they are aging.

It’s totally fine to keep it as one line item on the invoice or receipt.

Apparently, this is deeply embedded in terms and conditions (fineprint) when you sign up, do you really read through even single line item?

In regards to the 50% of availability, are you referring to 50% of the total equity or 50% of the max on the heloc regardless of which amount it's taken out for?

You can reference it in the beginning of the lease and tie back to the exhibit 

DSCR can cash out 80% even on 2-4 units, but I was referring to OP's request for HELOC on investment properties To further clarify my previous post: 80% LTV HELOCS on investment properties are available on single family homes, 75% LTV HELOCS on investment properties are available for 2-4 units. 2nd position?

My dilemma is replace the exterior items (which I can't really raise rent for).

I get random loan requests all over the country, I was not referring to any particular market just giving general info for folks having a frustrating time getting their deals funded.

@Ambica PilliRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

What do you consider the level of investment you would need to achieve the "scale" you reference?
