I have used both TSP loan and HELOC to purchase investment...I certainly thought the ROI from real estate was better than relying on highly fluctuating stock market. 

Quote from @Aidan Birmingham: Hello, I have been speaking with an investor who would like to partner with me on some future real estate investments.

Tenant screening is one of the most critical steps to protecting your investment and ensuring a smooth landlord experience.

Is anyone that invests in Detroit and Warren, MI also experiencing a significant increase in their taxable values? 

You can't actually pay it off directly because they've been securitized, and the people who invested in those securities did so because of the specific certainty of the payment schedule.What you do in a defeasance is use the proceeds of the sale or the funds from your new lender to purchase treasury bonds that are packaged to make the exact payment amounts and timings on the remaining term of the loan, and then assign those bonds to your old lender.
