I refied a couple of years ago an pulled out my initial capital but now i have over 50% equity in the property and since the last refi I have aquired several more properties with similar financing. with that many conventioanl loans no bank even wants to talk to me about cash out refi's are there any other options for cheap money i could use for more investnents?

But for the sake of actually conducting the transactions, does an agent make this process easier or is it a simple enough process to do on my own.As I sit here and think about it, I don’t even know how to initiate the buy, present the contract forms, and close.

If the HELOC is more than your initial down payment, you just got all your cash out of the property and then some, so you now have a property that is cash flowing with none of your money in it! 

He left the job and never returned further, he billed the owner for the lost supplies and equipment, then when that wasn't paid, he put a lien on the title.Not sure how I feel about charging for the supplies, but this goes to show, while numbers on a deal initially may make sense, not knowing the area, and having crime like this.

The HELOC would typically be interest only for some initial number of years, so your payments during that time are lower.

Did your lease automatically become month to month after the initial term?

Corey Demuth Jay Hinrichs I agree totally and that is the route I took initially.

when we do the initial walk through with them, we usually ask their plans, and if they plan on satellite, we let them know our preference (e.g. pole mount in yard). 

How do I obtain a title under the initial agreement with the original seller?

There is no faster way to lose future deals with an investor or lose an initial deal, than with inaccurate rehab cost.
