Hi @Leon Jamison,I can recommend my contractor. my project was $420K, 7months, funded through 203K. we went slightly over schedule (10months),mainly due to a few failed/ repeat inspections, but we were able ton finish under budget.TBH, Im actually doing a second multi family reno project in the heights, New York Ave with the same contractor beginning March 2025.Anyways, you're bound to have issues when working with any contractor.

The merchant also failed to provide proof that the cancellation policy was properly disclosed to the cardholder."

Should I talk to an appraiser before the bank gets an appraisal?

It may create a problem for you later if your bank discovers the account is owned by an LLC that no longer exists.

If you are going to make more having it in the bank where you have to do nothing, then why not do that?

For bookkeeping purposes, I recommend designating a separate bank account exclusive to the house hack activities to keep some sanity.

Best places to look for a HELOC are often the small community banks and credit unions close to the property.  

And equally for the buyer, if you want to renovate and refinance or cash out, wouldn't you have to pay off the entire mortgage at that point and the bank would know it was always the buyer paying off and not the seller?
