@Bill Brandt what are your thoughts on your holdings if not only prices drop but then in turn rental rates drop again as well and your cash flow decreases as a result?

More than likely you're decreasing your IRR as you're putting more money into the deal.

Hello all-I’m trying to turn this temporary setback into a positive opportunity.

@Matt Gregory the main element I would ask you to think about here is that a HELOC is designed as a temporary loan. 

Currently renting my basement out to a single mother and her child since last March, original rent was $1575 (all utilities) and I saw her situation at the time and dropped it to $1500 for a 12 month lease with all utilities included, she purchased a electric charging vehicle less than two months after moving in so obviously taking full advantage of all utilities included.Two months ago, she had a boyfriend stay with her and told me that it was temporary while he is looking for a new place.
