simple question to ask, are investor dividends being paid out of net operating income or reserves? 

And at what nominal price compared to the $24mil they paid in 2019? 

I paid for the subscription for a few months and drew my own custom Google maps areas and color coded them red/yellow/green based on a "grade" I felt came from a few metrics like crime/average household income/etcI also really like realtors dot com new maps, if you search for an address and click on the map and then go to the top left and choose the Value slider it will give you a nice color coded map of which areas of a neighborhood are higher valued.

The amount of extra principal paid is almost exactly equal to the amount of interest paid on the HELOC. 

If they have an legally binding agreement, you need to honor that agreement and pay the fee.If you failed to mention to the agent that they are going to get paid, and then explained how, of course they won't present the offer.

Please keep in mind, this is my opinion and I am not being paid by RESimpli or any other person for my comments.

(LOL, likely a paid co-branding snippet and doesn't do anything for you)3) We run "X" in ads to attract buyers!

I would like to purchase another property so I looked into a heloc and a cash out refinance and it looks like I would qualify for about 75000 max which would be enough to put a down payment on another property and rehab it, but I still haven’t paid myself back from the original property rehab.

What the investor will have is a long term appreciating asset; that will provide an increasing cash flow as rental rates increase, and steady amortization as the note is paid down.  

My $2000 also covers stuff that inevitably break under normal use - I had to replace a washer $700, a stove $600, a microwave $100, and a grill $400, all  within last 2 years, and paid close to $1000 for various service calls by electricians and HVAC techs and pest control.
