In some older neighborhoods especially historic districts, the tenants look for older houses - they preferred the art deco bathroom tiles, the thick plaster & lath walls over granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.but class D neighborhoods are easiest to tell. 

Very unlikely unless you find a private lender/individual to do this as a one-off. 

If you are in the CLT area and are looking to connect with othr like-minded individuals, I would love to grab a coffee with you!

I prefer Old Brooklyn, Cleveland heights, Euclid, edgewater, etc. 

If I have several options, I would prefer a HELOC with no initial draw requirements (i.e. to establish a literal line of credit that I have no specific short term plans to use), i.e. not something like the better.com HELOC. 

If you give someone over 19% membership interest in the deal, the bank will usually require a personal guarantee from that individual. 

Most (not all) HELOCs require that the property is titled to an individual (not LLC) and are full doc, meaning your employment history, income, DTI etc will be factors.

The proper answer is "it depends" I don't know anything about your case.I do prefer simple over unnecessary complexity.

It seems like keeping separate insurance policies is the preferred way to go while being added as Additional Interest on the tenants renter's insurance policy in order to be notified of any changes to their policy.What is the argument for a landlord being added as Additional Insured on a tenant's renter's insurance as opposed to Additional Interest?   

I'm excited to be here and can't wait to bounce ideas off some like-minded individuals!
