Once everything checks out i would also suggest checking with builders risk and homeowner insurance that they will be able to write a policy during construction and after.

So far I've had about $27k in depreciation write off over 10 years. 

Find some that look interesting, write them down, find the contact information using a tool online.

Hi Jayson, In some cases it can be a great decision.Take a look at the cost of capital the HELOC or refinance is going to give you compared to what you are looking at now.Also look at the income generated/write offs/appreciation that a rental property is going to give you.If it is going to yield you positive results, I say go for it!

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

Too much to write here.

Make sure the furnishings are modern and functional.

.**** Ideally, you'd get something in writing from the tenant indicating they are surrendering possession and stating anything left the in the property is deemed to have no value. 

The search functionality seems to be keyword driven. 

You can raise the deductibles; you can make it actual cash value or functional replacement cost!
