Cam, that is a great analysis.

The advantage of a HELOC is that you can likely access a greater amount of your equity and have a revolving feature.

Another thing that helps maximize the strategy is the amount of cash inflows a person has each month or the amount of inflows because on a revolving line the interest is calculated daily or on an average daily balance like what  depending on the LOC (line of credit).on the All in One or AIO loan from CMG the interest is calculated daily and swept or added to your balance at 12AM each day so all your paychecks, rental checks from rentals, or stock dividends, distributions from your business, or etc can be used to lower your balance by 12AM each day and lower your total interest costs.Most HELOC's or lines of credit calculate interest on the average daily balance which is like all balances within the last 30 days divided by 30 which is not as efficient as the AIO's daily sweep but close.The third method of interest calculation is the 30 year fixed which amortizes or calc's interest every 30 days or month so extra principal paid into this loan after the 1st of the month doesnt lower the incremental interest on the reduced balance till next month.

Even if tenants pay base plus cam to landlord they generally do not have the funds to cover parking lot or roof right away and landlord has to pay upfront and collect cam over the years to make it up.If you want to fully update the center for new roof,re-coat and stripe parking lot, new paint and facade etc. it could run into the 6 figures for that or more depending on building size.There are companies that buy shares but they want a discount.

Get a drop cam....that will send you photos/video when someone is in the house.   

If the value is expired it's possible a new value would be ordered and the whole deal would be thrown off if the value cam back higher.
