I have a couple leads already through word of mouth from my local neighborhood FB groups wanting to see it and apply once I list it.Should I list in multiple places (Zillow, Hot Pads, Realtor, Marketplace) and screen through one screening service?

Took a red eye flight from LA, landed early Thursday morning (10/11/18), and had our first meeting just a couple of hours after getting to our pad, and the day didn't finish until almost 9 PM.

They use these 5x8 yellow legal pads with a hand written font and a small envelope also hand written.  

I usually stick to the yellow legal pad letters with small envelopes as well so it does not look like a bill.

Yellow note pad hand written holds in court and indicates you are not experts and this is important.HAPPY to recommend a local agent.

You need to know how much you can afford while still keeping a pad for unexpected events in your life.

To reduce your appraisal risk at the refinance stage (into conventional or FHA) you can review comps ahead of time (active, pending, sold's) and you can pad your numbers to ensure your runway is cleared while you take on this new project.Some of my best BRRRR deals were done with HML or hard money/fix flip money to win the deal.

I like your open house idea if you're getting a lot of people regularly asking to see the house, but if not, you're right that it may be a waste of time.The simple solution would be to get an electronic lock box or key pad door lock that will allow you to change the code after every use.

Payment on a $0 HELOC balance is $0, typically closing costs are $0 to $600, but should something (emergency or opportunity) come up, you can dump $100k into a checking account with 2 mouse clicks. 

Those alerts can also be seen if you mouse over the "Inbox" on the upper right menu bar and scroll down.
