I watch Brandon Mulrenin for his cold calling content, just for knowledge, however when I obtain my license I anticipate using a different approach to his when it comes to personality and tone. 

If Tenant Defaults under this Lease, Landlord may exercise all rights and remedies available under applicable law, including the right to: (i) terminate this Lease; (ii) regain possession of the Property through an eviction or similar process; (iii) recover from Tenant all unpaid Rent, including unpaid Monthly Rent, Additional Rent, Late Fees and, if applicable, holdover Rent for the period prior to Tenant’s delivery of possession of the Property to Landlord; (iv) recover all Rent payable under this Lease for the period from the date of termination for Tenant Default through the stated Expiration Date, less the amount Landlord is able to collect from any replacement tenants for that period; and (v) recover allreasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in repairing any damage to the Property, caused by the improper useby any Occupant or any guests of an Occupant, less any amounts obtained from the Security Deposit.

Also love @Patrick Allen's reply mentioning.(1) HELOCs on primaries are easier to obtain(2) High rates may make cash flow difficult unless there is a clear & compelling refi strategyItems I'll add from my seat.(1) Although rare we(Lower.com) offer HELOCs on investment properties, but the terms will always be better on primaries.(2) If you're moving into the next home, needing to only put ~5% down doesn't leave you very exposed to the higher rates of a HELOC.
