This had been on the market a while, totally over priced.. but now with ailing wife/mother they find themselves in a desperate situation.

Ideally you can borrow enough on your HELOC to cover the balance of your basement renovation and pay off your credit cards.3) Use the home equity line of credit to pay down all of your credit cards (leave maybe a 3-5% balance on each just to keep your credit in good standing).  4) Finish your basement5) Find a tenant and let them pay off your HELOC over time.6) Leave your credit alone for a few months so it can heal.  

I've been using some healing crystals and thoughts and prayers so far because that's all I can afford on the currently offered plans. 

I'd like to take time and heal, grow and find a life long forever girl.

Time in real estate can heal most mistakes if you are creative 👍

I would try and seek out a real estate attorney or well healed realtor  that is familiar with rent control and rent boards.

Cheaper options don't have the ability to overlap the nails like the rest of the roofing system, but nicer options (look up "GAF Timbertex") are built with the intention to 100% cover the ridge nails.While you got a dimensional roof (good), looks like materials got skimped skimped on top.It'll likely be fine, just keep an eye on the silicon.In the future, I'd pony up for the nice accessories (self healing underlayment) and go mid tier on shingles.

Cash Flow and Appreciation are enemies - usually the best cash flowing properties appreciate the slowest, High Appreciation properties often don't cash flow-Investing in Real Estate is not a get rich quick scheme - it's a get rich slow plan- Real estate is one of the few investments where time eventually will heal all wounds. 

After wound heals the colostomy bag gets reversed.

I suffered an injury that I knew will take time for me to heal so to fill time I decided to begin my real estate journey.
