If one is transferring property title from personal name, a Grant/Warranty Deed would be drafted/recorded to transfer title. 

If you're more of a 'personal referral' person than a 'do research online' person, and this is local to you in Manhattan, KS, hit up one or two of the trades people in the "little apple all stars" BNI group.

@Leslie L Meneus, while the forums can be pretty good, in-person networking and sharing ideas is much more valuable.  

If a person has to ask, at all, I STRONGLY advise to use a PM service for tenant placement. 

To Sum it up, its a good idea if you can exceed the cost of capital (higher rate than your cost of debt) with what you earn on your heloc/debt you pull out and invest.The question is how much gains above is enough to substantiate the risk of your variable interest rate, well thats up to your personal investing criteria.

Yes I have owned 4 personal homes before but never an investment property.

Personally see these laws sweeping the nation.. 

Focus on the numbers and the goals, not personal feelings.

These homes are in my personal name right now.  

@Avery Oblepias in general, paying for something you can learn online, is really paying for convenience and discipline.It's no different than paying for a personal trainer at a gym.Regarding S8, it's a pretty basic program that $5k seems a bit excessive for.Maybe, $1500?
