I will keep you updated with my progress.

Is there anyway the owner hasn’t been updated or should I just leave this guy alone?

HELOC is just a credit line, So you can buy/rehab and refinance with a regular loan in order to pay back your HELOC if you want or pay back the HELOC with time.Depending on the type (1% Payback or Interest Only Payback) if you borrow 80k, your monthly payments would be $800 - if you were renting for say $1000+ and covered all expenses, then you could just pay back your HELOC and if rates adjusted, your payments is still 1% payback - you would just have more interest added on for the life of the loan.I have a HELOC and opened it up to be able to fund my rehabs or have extra $ to close on a deal.

Has anything been updated within the past few years?

Hey Treymane I did some research and I think this thread might be useful to you: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/21...From what I've read in it, you can download the deliquent property list here: http://www.octaxcol.com/tax-roll-download/It's labeled as "Daily Delinquent Real Estate Update File Zipped".Hope this helps.

I have two ideas for you. 1.Buy a duplex live in one side and rent the other that can go through a regular home loan at a bank or credit union. 

I should be able to increase rents to around $11k per month even with charging utilities on top as I update leases/get new tenants.You're correct on the property management, forgot to include. 

this is still ongoing but I didn't forget and will keep the thread updated .
