Instead of tapping into a property taking out the Heloc that generally has a higher rate and a shorter term. 

They would just be buy and holds anyways.

Let the other investors go after short sales and REO's.

I know that the term "service animal" is often used interchangeably with "emotional support animal", etc.

Great place to own buy and holds, as others have mentioned and as you have witnessed it's certainly street by street.

Though, this process will be the same for the other state (if you created a CA LLC you may need to register it as a foreign LLC in the state in which you are doing business/holding property).

I know they might be easy to borrow from, but you might want to look at more professional funding sources in the longer term.

Its like Fix and Flip loans/business purpose loans are now called "RTL's" real estate transition loans - same thing just different nameI know AAPL was trying to get away from the term "hard money" because for some it has a negative connotation but to me its all the same. 

That will impact any future offer prices.I bought a townhome with a broken lateral that was a short distance to the main.

If builder pushes you saying "come on, don't hold up the closing for these minor items, let's close the house and take care of the them with warranties."
