@Tom StevensonHELOC money is extremely expensive - if you buy something that is 100% financed, either entirely with the proceeds from the HELOC, or with HELOC money for the down payment and a conventional loan, you will lose money.

Why are you losing sleep?

Will you lose money on the clean? 

Also, I am connected with a lot of sophisticated investors on Linkedin and I don't want to lose their respect because I am starting to post educational content when I have never done any transactions.What do you guys think?

And they are actually slowing losing market share, at least in my market.People always try to offer a product and service for less, you are not the first one with this idea.

I had a similar situation in Chino except instead of losing out on a garage my tenants lost out on parking.

If the deal collapses and I would lose everything, I'm out.

If you are buying your first (or second or third) mortgaged property you do not have a whole lot to lose going either direction. 

Have you ever heard of a Landlord being sued by a Tenant and losing property?
