Your park name has now landed on someone's government desk and you will eventually be forced to answer a lot of uncomfortable questions.

I'm sure there will be others with their own (and possibly conflicting) opinions, but for question #1, I always advise my clients to focus on properties in areas that 1) they currently (or previous) live in/near, 2) they travel to frequently, or 3) they have family/friends in the area.For question #2, the answer is going to depend on what you do for #1.

Hi Ralph,As Monico answered you can do the HELOC for the down payment.

Also the home is a subject to, where we are paying the remaining 3% mortgage, so a full refi would not be a great answer either. 

@Samuel KimEven though I already gave you an answer earlier on this thread, I need to add a few comments after seeing some totally irresponsible and reckless advice given by other commenters.Short story is:A.

When I add a new tenant to the lease, the original contract terms remain in place.

Once the renovations are complete, you could either refinance it into a long-term loan or list it for sale.Happy to answer any further questions!

Yael - Hi,  I am a real estate agent in Phoenix and thinking of an answer to your question. 

Quote from @Roger Flot: I was reviewing some renovated listings in my area and one indicated that even though the house was originally built in 1920, because of all the renovations bringing the house to current code, that you could get 2024 rates on insurance.
