Who cares about lifetime interest costs, except to the extent you can easily lower them (refinance to a lower interest rate) to increase your cashflow.

It's tempting early on to leverage as much as you can so you can do more deals and keep liquidity, but increased cashflow especially with PMI will make you sleep a lot better at night.

How will the partnership cash flow cover the HELOC payments if interest rates increase?

But, for instance, I sent them a notice of rent increase effective February 1 and needed them to confirm that they have accepted the new payment terms through our electronic payment system, and even after repeated notices, they are not responding.

And this will only increase in my opinion so it's a great time to invest!

I’ve had people who signed up for 6 months and stayed 5+ years, paying increasing rental rates.

Increasing for times when there is more demand and decreasing when it is slow. 

Why someone willingly wants to work with a government agency that will slow down turnover, dictate rents and rent increases, and dictate repairs is beyond me. 

My terms are identical to yours as far as the 1-year lease with 3 options to renew (for them), 3% yearly rent increase, etc.
