Always challenge the property taxes.Cash flow is not the only benefit.Tenant is paying your mortgage and paying down your principleTax write off on property taxes and mortgage interestSome appreciation in property value but I do not count on it, it’s a bonus when it happens.  

A lot of banks have introductory rates for HELOCs that they use as a loss leader for the branch and you can shop around for the lowest rate or any bonuses they have because its the cheapest money you can borrow.Once you have that line of credit, rather than utilizing it as collateral for downpayments on leveraged properties, I would use it to leverage the strength of cash offers on distressed properties ideally to motivated sellers that allow you better access to good deals compared to those with financing contingencies.

The many added bonuses of course include that you'll avoid all kinds of tenant-related problems in the room and be able to address all sorts of suspicions, so your notice should read, "under 24-hour surveillance for your protection."

Fire pits are a bonus as well, again be careful, there's a a number of potential issues that might exist (though I have one and people love it). 

We used any bonus or tax free funds from deployments and that went towards down payments.
