@Karolina Powell Without any method to back me up was going to say $750,000-$800,000 in my area based on the prices I am seeing on other properties.

I'm naturally a nice person so its not that hard for me.

We are simple looking for a documented method to determine if a furnace issue was the result of our tenant running out of fuel (thus sucking sludge into the system.Any suggestions????

It's also in our nature to want to help.

We do have access to a HELOC on the property which we leveraged to purchase our current primary residence (balance borrowed has been fully repaid at this point) but we would rather not pull that lever to roll into a new property given current interest rates and the adjustable nature of the HELOC. 

People are doing it, so presumably it works.FWIW, I invested in Japan for a few years, but lack of rent growth, lack of appreciation, concerns about natural disasters, and just general lack of confidence in the J market led me to shift focus only to the US.

The answer here is with the nature of what we do – we are real estate investors.

Potential homeowners and renters are now prioritizing locations that offer better air quality and are less susceptible to natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, and droughts. 

@Orlundo HubbardWhat has been your experience raising money using this method?

I was hoping to secure investments through auction instead of fixer-upper types via this method of funding. - Make more moneyI guess I'm just a little confused because this type of funding is backed by an asset and not unsecured.
