You came to the right place for information, Jared! 

Any tips, warnings, or real-life lessons are welcome! 

I got approved for a HELOAN on my primary property but not sure if I should take the loan to just use as “leverage/reserves” to show the HML and get funded.

The tenant refused to communicate about his plans to vacate and finally left the key under the mat on June 2 but made no communication, so we had to make 4 trips looking for the key.

Thanks for the input!
