If you use the Heloc option and decide to rent it out, don't forget that property (or you) will have to cover both your primary and secondary position notes.I don't personally see Marin being a great mid term market.

I have never been there personally but I have heard it's good food.

Plus say another 4 feet with the person standing. 

Would the person who takes on more labor to repair the property have greater preferred equity or is this usually treated differently?

I had a “lender” tell me he’d give me a personal loan with a fixed 4% rate on a 30 year term at whatever amount I wanted because he would like to “build a relationship” with me. 

@Emily CurtisI am a BP Pro Member with login of my personal email I have been using Stessa for 3.5 years using my business email address for login.

It is my understanding that people refinance and then use those funds other ways (personal living, investing, some to buy another property) as a means to minimize tax obligation. 

I personally owned a rental there for 7 years, but I just recently sold it.

Any suggests from your personal experience would be greatly appreciated!

I don't just hand over money unless I have a good respect for the person.
