You might look into Nate & Amy Goodman.

We have Indian Casinos just a short drive into the mountains;)

I'm assuming the program you are considering is similar to the taught by Jordan Goodman of Money Answers or something similar where your "extra" cash is used as float to "earn" interest (save you the interest payments).The best way to find Home Equity Lines of Credit is Google and start dialing for dollars.If this is not what you are looking for, the post back with more information and we'll see if we can help.

Good man!

I believe the casinos are not really attracting a lot of attention anymore, so that probably means less employment in that area versus the last 5-10 years.

You are a good man for looking out for your parents ... good luck to you all.BTW, good news is that if they have lived there as their primary residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years, then up to $500k of profit is tax free when they sell.

@KIMARD EGLETON - sounds good man.  

I own 4 acres right across from the Graton Casino and am working with Rohnert park on a mixed used resi commercial plan.. they need housing. but as you know in that area its just SO expensive to get the dirt ready for vertical and the building permits and systems development fee's are off the charts.Even here in Portlandia.. 

(This may vary due to your location but):I happen to like Goodman and Amana hi-efficiency furnaces (95-97% - natural gas) and so does my HVAC guy Dave, those are our go to lines.What furnace do you use and why?

It would be similar to running to the Casino and playing a single hand with all your money.
