@Drew SygitWith all due respect, it's far better if he doesn't even open Pandora's Box....Just say no.

@Drew McLoughlinI’m in the Dallas area too and it’s simple to do.

@Drew Sygit Hi Drew, Thanks for the feedback, I'll check out the page

We don't do well with armchair quarterbacks.

Quote from @Drew Sygit: @Blaise Peterson from a PMC point of view:If the property is vacant, we'd just terminate the contract, because there's nothing really to manage and we don't just want to be used cut the grass.If tenant-occupied, there's a host of liability issues for a PMC if owner hires another agent to list for sale:1) Who knows what transgressions the Owner's agent will cause with the tenant while showing it, possibly resulting in the owner and the PMC getting sued.

@Drew Sygit I agree with you.

thank you @Nathan Gesner and @Drew Sygit for wonderful suggestions!

@Drew Sygit thank you I will check that out.

Perhaps instead consider using private money, doing the reno as quickly as possible, and then using a DSCR or conventional refi to pay off the private money.I tend to agree with @Drew Sygit and @Nathan Gesner that tapping the equity of your primary, especially with something variable and unpredictable like a HELOC, is not a good idea, but with one exception.

@Drew Sygit thanks great advice!
