Not a fan of loan guarantor fees in general.Sponsors track record in these types deals across multiple economic cycles (when I see these types of deals, I mean acquiring new construction multifamily in the area)I am sure if I saw the deck, I would have at least a dozen more questions.  

One where a kid stuck a stick into the A/C unit fan which over heated the 20+ year old pump.

We also replaced quite a few old ceiling lights with new ceiling fan/light combos and replaced any cracked or suspect outlets, etc.Kitchens got new stoves and microwaves and upgraded furniture in common areas.

I am not a fan of using section 8 as a full-on investment strategy.

Cheap curtains hung up on the first floor, a welcome mat, lights on a timer, battery operated fake candles on a timer, big size 11 men's shoes and big men's jacket hung by the front door, two empty dog bowls, a tie out in the back yard (for a dog), fan on a timer, foldable table and chairs with a tablecloth and centerpiece, and radio playing on a timer.  

There are a lot of rules to be aware of, but I'm a big Self-Directed IRA fan. 

I'm curious as to why VG Jason wasn't a fan.

The issue that I'm facing now is whether I want to pull it out against one of my rentals or on my primary.I have found a bank that will allow me to borrow as a second lien on rentals but their rates are higher than what I could get when just doing it against my primary.What I'm most worried about is what happens in a worst case scenario, should something drastic happen in the market.From what I understand, using the money against a rental doesn't necessarily provide much more of a safety blanket in case things hit the fan because if, somehow, the HELOC lender can't recover their money, you'll get sued anyways.

The agent has been communicative the whole time (something that I can say about 5% of agents in my limited experience) so I'm a fan!

I'm not a huge fan of virtual staging personally, I prefer actual physical staging.
