Then invest the $10k in something that pays more than the interest you’re paying on the HELOC.  

A longer timeline will make paying the extra 2% now more attractive.

I went to pay them, couple of days work I'll pay with a check (1099) and cash it for them.Hey Tony, I've got all O's info what's yours?"

Quote from @Josh Otero: Hi BP community, I know you've got some crazy tenant stories and I want to hear it.I'll go first:1) I was managing a 5 story apartment building and a dog fell off the 4th floor balcony because of the owner not paying attention.

We explained to him we would pay for probate and pay to fix up the house to get it rented.The lease is for 5 years but dissolves once we close.

It is not uncommon - main reason we see right now is over inflated original ARVs and now borrowers cannot sell and pay off the lender. 

So either you pay for the repair out of the idle cash in your account, file an insurance claim and use those funds, or rollover/transfer funds from another retirement account to cover the cost. 

Its all legal and now you only have to maintain a place for 5 groups. 1) you can get a heavy cash deposit down for the ownership. 2) they pay quarterly for expenses that funds the overhead. 3) everone has a share of profit when you or they decide to sell for a higher price.

We typically pay somewhere in the range of $3500 for a new, basic furnance, including install, if there are no other modifications to the system required.
