I can tell you some stories about how he spoke with people on the phone he never met and he described the clothing they were wearing, their height, whether or not they had a mustache, when they had a morotcycle, what brand motorcycle and even the pattern and color of their clothing.

During the disposition phase of our first deal, we had already identified potential buyers based on cash purchase patterns in the area and networking, but our ultimate end buyer was someone from our local REIA that was not on our list.If you have a service like Propstream, you can easily pull a list of cash buyers around your subject property over the last 90-180 days.

Seems like "cultured marble" bathroom vanity sink tops are going for $150 or so on the cheap end, which should fit the budget

The fateful day came five years later when Spector was arrested after 40-year-old Clarkson was found shot to death in the mansion’s marble foyer.

Atlanta (and most of the U.S.) has lost its marbles but house hacking is a strategy that can still work, if your criteria is not too strict. 

I noticed a pattern when paying my taxes the last two years and it seems like I’m paying state income tax in two states from long term capital gains of stock sales.I live in CA (since 2013) and have a rental property in CO (purchased in 2011).

HELOC is for short term money, cash out refi for long term.HELOCs have lower closing costs, higher variable interest rate, and interest only accrues when you actually draw funds.Cash out refinances will typically have higher closing costs, a lower fixed rate will be available, and interest starts accruing right away (even if it takes you 10 months to find your next property).A common pattern if you may find a deal in a month, or 10 months, not really sure, is to1) Get any refinancing out of the way, you have an FHA loan so you should certainly drop that off.2) Get the HELOC, leave the balance at $0 so you aren't paying interest.3) Buy the rental.4) Come back to the property with the HELOC and see if it makes sense to cash out refi and consolidate the 1st and 2nd into 1 30YF.If you're determined to score that deal within the next 90ish days, skipping right to a cash out refinance is probably best.
