I anticipate that the current residents will not agree to pay the higher rent.I'd love to hear from others who've dealt with asking inherited tenants to leave. 

I'm new to the RE investment , and new to the biggerpockets website at the Same time .I need some help guys to understand how it is possible to use the HELOC several times.I've got a relatively good grasp on how to use it the first time , based on the equity of your primary residence. 

Hello,Properties ranging from single family residence to 4-plex (1 to 4 unit dwellings) are generally considered residential properties and as such they are valued using recent sales of comparable properties.

I’m getting ready to temporarily move back into my rental property, while searching for a new primary residence in the coming months.

maybe a personal residence or other real estate he might owns?

We've also paid our primary residence down so we could get a HELOC for future investments.

My name is Valerie Kester and while I have bought and sold several personal residences (including landlording)  I am brand new to the investing side of real estate. 

Thanks for the explanation @Curt Davis but If I'm not mistaken the property mgt. company role does not end on assigning a resident and collecting rent.What about ongoing fixes around the house (broken appliances, electricity issues, etc.) ?

In Georgia it makes a difference, whether it's a personal residence or if it's an investment property.

Is there still hope to negotiate the short sale despite the prior homeowner, who no longer owns the residence, refuses to give me authorization to speak with the bank?
