But as soon as you've got the problem points identified and replaced, there are stretches that you won't see significant rusting on for a hundred years.

Both of us walk away with $10,000 minimum, stretch goal is $20,000 by end of August.2.

Not that it means anything other than maybe people are being stretched a little thin possibly, and if housing dropped you could have a large number of homes under water mortgage wise.  

Discussing my property here on Bigger Pockets should also qualify for consultations directly related to the property or would you say that is a stretch?

However your principal paydown, appreciation, and potential rental income serve you 1000000000 times better for a 3 year stretch.

If you took out a HELOC for the same amount as a standard mortgage and stretched payments out over the same term, you would pay the same amount.The other scam associated with this is the idea that you can float HELOC payments.

But beyond that it doesn't feel right that you are stretching yourself so thin to seemingly support your entire extended family.

I usually don't actually get to 10% vacancy, but it helps me to not feel stretched when you do get those longer gaps.

That seems like a stretch. 

You can afford to stretch yourself thin.
