- Are the markets likely to experience the most rent and price growth going forward likely to be:     - Markets with the lowest supply coming online    - Markets with the best schools    - Markets with the lowest crimeAnyways - food for thought!

If you’re curious why - talk to @Michael Plaks :) if you want a creditable source on Congress.gov that proves this - read my post.

Now I have equity locked in and couldn’t qualify for a heloc due to credit as well.

Putting credit lines in place might make sense to have the capital available if a sure fire opportunity comes your way, but I would learn to get a certain level of comfort with paid off mortgages too.

I know it can be hard to get rural loans unless you are using a local bank or credit union. 

Also, they state that if I'm found to have violated these peoples Human Rights, that I can lose my other Low Income Housing Tax Credits (aka Section 8 at my other property).The complaints also state that these individuals suffered "anguish" forEven if we decided to fight this, which we probably would have a decent chance at winning, it will cost me thousands in lawyer hourly billings vs. just paying out a settlement to these people.At this point, my lawyer has filed an extension with NY Division of Human Rights and should be reaching out to the non-profit behind all of this mess some point soon.It sucks because it will be more expensive to fight it and win, than to just take the L and pay them out a settlement.

No evictions are a BIG one, finances and credit are NOT, especially if HUD pays 100% of their rent and there's no tenant portion.

While qualifying for a HELOC is dependent on your home equity and your credit score, good or excellent credit makes it easier to qualify.

Get good tenants that won’t likely cause issue (background check, credit check, references, pay stubs).
