Having a good sanitation system, and a city that cares about having a clean environment would be a great start.Unfortunately, after contacting the city and local groups that claim to want to make the city a beautiful place do not want to help put up a public trashcan.My last resource is contacting SEPTA and asking them.

But using that money as a downpayment is not "correct".For starters, it's almost guaranteed in this environment that the interest rate on your HELOC is higher than your CoC returns on the properties you'd buy.That doesn't make sense.Beyond that, how will you pay off the $400k HELOC balance?

Does HELOC and other home equity financing methods work in the current high interest rate environment?

Given the rate environment I'm not sure that a HELOC makes much sense or if you'll get something significant enough to buy something closer to Boston.

Neither scenario is a suitable environment for investment. 

In this environment how are people doing the deals?

They said it is a new loan product being offered in todays environment.

The borrower was operating a sizable operation, inclusive of approximately 100 multi-family units.

How the work environment is set up by the manager will really dictate the overall mood of your house and will be reflected quickly to families when they come to tour.3.

That is what we have to defend against, that person, and why EVERYONE will have to do this process now, because of "that" person who may use this new environment that way.
