It is really wonderful to have such a great community to discuss these things with.

Welcome to the BP community.

If I have a specific area I'm looking in I would call multiple agents to ask about the area.I also reach out to communities like this and ask for others' input as well as recommendations for a good crew- handyman, plumbing, etc.Visiting in person sometime in the beginning would be ideal so the neighbors can know you and help give you info when you're gone.And it may just be me but I like to partner with locals

For HELOCs without W2 income, look into local credit unions or community banks, as they often have more flexibility with alternative income verification and rental portfolios.

@JohnCoreyUnfortunately, very little interest has sprung up from the BP community.
