Frequently the REI/consumer applies to 3 or 5 different HELOC lenders before a credit line is actually opened -- the better rate HELOC has higher standards, so REI/consumers go through this time-exhaustive exercise of getting denied a bunch because the 4 best rate HELOC lenders denied them, it's not until the 5th that it's approved and open.

the deal not withstanding but I would look at it like if houses are renting for 650 to say 800 and now you have 500 dollar apartments I suspect your rental pool will probably be pretty tough and transient so vacancy and turn over will be higher than normal. 

I feel the same way sometimes, but in fairness, I’ve not even begun to exhaust my resources locally yet.

@Jack Bobeck I agree 100% about San Marco and will take that into account now and look in areas that are fit to withstand disasters.

I'm exhausted just after writing it, and frankly, I'm absolutely looking forward to finally planting roots and settling down here in LA.
