Thought about adding a hoarding clause... one of our tenants has a side hustle where they buy, build, and sell holiday gift baskets.

We have bought beds/dressers for the extra bedrooms and a dining set from Wayfair, they look nice but are pretty cheaply made.

You will benefit from better rates and lower cost lumber now, so that will help make up for some of the added carry and perhaps the market conditions have even improved? 

Try it in about 5-10% of the spots charging an extra $25-$50/mo (Assuming tenant pays for electricity at that plug.)and see if you get any bites.

@Ryon PaxHave you considered cutting some of your personal expenses to pay for the HELOC or find another way to generate added income?

If they don't, they likely contracted it out and added a 20% mark-up on the service. 

It was a bankruptcy sale so it took a little longer, but gave us some extra needed time.

This is to alleviate any added flooding your project creates for the downstream properties. 

In short, I want to learn about how to draft my strategy for my region for value ad investments and find team members that I can trust and depend on. 

I'll be honest with you all, sometimes I dream of selling it all and just having 2-5 paid-off houses, enjoying the extra monthly cashflow and just enjoying life.Maybe one day I'll act on that dream and deleverage the way Dave teaches.
