My business still does a solid $250k a year in profit, so I have additional sources of income that might appeal to investors.I think the problem will be credit history: I've never taken out a car loan or house mortgage, but have had credit cards since 18 and have been paying them on time with no outstanding debt.

ideally - access the  equity via a HELOC ...max the amount ...use this HELOC as  you need  the  funds ...you are only charged  interest on the amount  youhave outstanding 

It occurred to me that having outstanding loans on multiple rental properties may negatively affect our debt to income ratio and our ability to qualify for another primary residence loan should we decide to buy another primary home in the near future. 

I have close to about $17k saved up from working during college but I also have some outstanding student loan debt to contend with.

@Jeffrey NaboznaSD has outstanding appreciation.

Maybe in the short-term the owner is not doing great (may even be cash flow negative in our market), but in the long-term San Diego has been outstanding for buy n hold RE. 

What we're being told in the investment materials is that the end users are likely to be some sort of automotive uses that service Amazon's fleet. 

In reference to @Peter Walther post about foreclosure, the following is copy & pasted directly from the State Bar of Wisconsin Form 11-2003 Land Contract:"Purchaser agrees that in the event of a default in the payment of principal or interest which continues for a period ofdays following the due date or a default in performance of any other obligation of Purchaser which continuesfor a period of days following written notice thereof by Vendor (delivered personally or mailed by certifiedmail), the entire outstanding balance under this contract shall become immediately due and payable at Vendor's optionand without notice (which Purchaser hereby waives), and Vendor may singly, alternatively or in combination: (i)terminate this Contract and either recover the Property through strict foreclosure or have the Property sold by foreclosuresale; in either event, with a period of redemption, in the court's discretion, to be conditioned on full payment of the entireoutstanding balance, with interest thereon from the date of default and other amounts due hereunder (failing which allamounts previously paid by Purchaser shall be forfeited as liquidated damages for failure to fulfill this Contract and asrental for the Property); (ii) sue for specific performance of this Contract; (iii) sue for the unpaid purchase price or anyportion thereof; (iv) declare this Contract at an end and remove this Contract as a cloud on title in a quiet-title action if theequitable interest of Purchaser is insignificant; (v) have Purchaser ejected from possession of the Property and have areceiver appointed to collect any rents, issues or profits; or (vi) pursue any other remedy available in law or equity.

If you go back 60 years, you will see similar outstanding appreciation for San Diego.Nothing against Columbus, but comparing historical appreciation to the Coastal CA cities is a folly. 

Thank you - you start and and further along outstanding OPs.
