Yes, I've read a lot about how people end up getting cold feet and continue to just only read and never really make anything happen so I'm consciously trying to avoid that (hence why I posted in the first place because I was already hesitating to do just that.)Appreciate the response!

I’m currently reading the Environmental Control Committee Manual, other regulations, and by-laws and restrictions.

Appraisal, inspections, environmental and sewer line.

Some background on me: ~8 years delineating, permitting disturbance and development in, and writing mitigation plans for wetlands in TX and the Gulf Coast region for several environmental firms, an energy company, blah blah blah.

It can also result in energy conscious tenants being bothered that they are footing the bill for others.

I'm graduating from San Jose State University with a degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering.

The property had environmental cleanup issues (or they thought it did). 

@Brian @Brian Cullum Just be conscious of the fact that since the HELOC is on your primary home, as the balance goes up, it does have an impact on your DTI.

They just sent me the environmental assessment they had done on the property about 3 years ago.

Those words were so subliminally heard in a number of BP podcasts, little did I realize how profound their reverberating echoes were in my conscious.
