Before making any decisions or committing to anything, reach out for referrals and do some research on the company and the offer they are making.

@Richard PastorI would urge you to get a commitment from a lender on a heloc BEFORE going down this path.

Verify the purchase price, potential rental income, and operating costs to determine whether it’s truly profitable.Understand Debt: Taking on $500,000+ in debt is a serious commitment.

I think using a deposit model where they can get some those prepaid rate back upon closing is a good way to induce commitment.   

Once you commit to this, it can actually be quite rewarding to provide housing to tenants.For contract renewals and rent increases, the first step is to familiarize yourself with local laws.

If the buyer does not have the financial ability to close, and won’t close without being able to flip the contract, then quite possibly the buyer has committed fraud. 

Currently, East English Village home prices are up, and the neighborhood committee is committed to building up the area.

Just curious - why would the landlord be held liable if a tenant commits a sex offense ? 

It sounds like you’ve already made great strides with your four long-term rentals and that you’re committed to learning and expanding your portfolio, even from afar.

I signed a commitment to sell based off of those figures.
