Quote from @Jordan Kaylor: I'm new to real estate investing and have secured a HELOC on my existing home.  

Do you have any suggestions on how we can secure long-term financing under these circumstances?

Was it indeed just locked, or did the latch mechanism fail, which often happens with bedroom sets that have plastic components in that mechanism; or did the screws that secure the latch into the door come loose, allowing the latch and/or the screws to prevent the door from opening...also not an uncommon event.

Your best security is your neighbors , they are right there and see whats going on at your property .   

You will receive the security deposit in Checking but then transfer it to Savings.Savings: Hold the deposit here so it's separate from operating funds.

Texas tends to favor landlords in these cases, but follow the legal process exactly—any misstep could delay things.As for protecting against retaliation or property damage, installing security cameras (if you haven’t already) to monitor common areas might be worth it.

With inventory expanding, it feels like there could be opportunities to secure deals, especially if the right cash flow potential is there. 

We would love to assist you in navigating these options and securing the right DSCR loan for your Florida investment.

HUD 4000.1 (I believe) is the latest HUD handbook and it goes over all requirements for originating the loan, including but not limited to occupancy requirements and exemptions.FHA occupancy : "At least one Borrower must occupy the Property within 60 Days of signing the security instrument and intend to continue occupancy for at least one year."
