Experts say tenants tend to take better care of a home when they know the owner is nearby.Be prepared for worst-case scenarios, and study local laws.

Talking with a lender should at the very least provide you with a better idea of how much more you will need to save, and hopefully some other actions to start taking to get better prepared for financing. 

I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist who is willing to work with you throughout the year, not just when preparing your tax return.

I think it would be beneficial to have a chat early on (even so far out) to help better prepare me for variables I may not even considered.

You will have to ask yourself if you are prepared for that, or do you have a local mentor that you could bring in.

How to prepare and pull the trigger for the "blood in the streets" Cycle?

-I'm assuming because of that I should be prepared to pay a penalty closing the HELOC early (but it would be worth it for the access to the cashflow I have)-I'd use a portion of the HELOC money to make additional renovations that I didn't think I could in the past when I was being stubborn and only wanting to use my own cash, thus making the home value for a flip higher-I'm not interested in renting the first property - I'd really prefer to flip that one specifically to get back the money I had to fork out to get it in the first place and put that back into an Ameriprise account at the very least.Can you guys let me know if I've got the right ideas here?
