I wouldnt want to see you get to the point of needing the heloc and finding out it isn't feasible.

this is all i needed to see:Business coach Kris Krohn blasted for pulling kids from public school over fat teacher (nypost.com)

TIAI personally don't like the receipt scanning apps because I think they are overkill and they only account for half the record keeping you need to do.

The house needs a lot of work with repairs and upgrades.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Word of mouth referrals from past clients play a very critical role in most realtors’s business, and to get that they need happy customers.

For a duplex, you'd likely need to double the estimate if the units are identical.

You really need boots on the ground here I feel. 

If the properties were placed into service in 2022 or before, you may need to file form 3115 (change in accounting method) to factor in the 'updated' depreciation schedule from the cost segregation study.Best of luck
