Hi Lina -- I'm based in Dallas but wouldn't know the laws for the city and county of Kyle, Texas.

I've got about $525K in equity in the property, but lenders have told me that I cannot get a HELOC to access that equity for additional purchases because the duplex was financed as an investment - they have said TX law dictates that HELOC can only be used on primary residences.

Property values here have a steady history of growth, making it a reliable market for long-term investment.2.Tenant-Friendly Laws: While this might seem like a challenge for landlords, tenant-friendly laws create a stable rental market.

My name is Ashley Kroft and my mother-in-law has a property in El Paso, TX that will be refinanced soon to purchase my husband and I's first rental property.

Talk this over with a lawyer because under current state law, you will not be able to evict due to the cold.

Legal RequirementsIndiana landlord-tenant laws are generally landlord-friendly but require you to be diligent.

Purchase price: $185,000 Cash invested: $5,000 Sale price: $220,000 Occupied by my in-laws.

Because of the relationship I have with the contractors I use, there is no material mark up when they source the material.Basically there is not an issue.The CSLB law on prohibition of T&M residential home improvement contracts has been around a long time.

The detective is not an expert in contract law and doesn't know what he's talking about.

Ian - do you have any recommendations for a good securities law attorney?
