We are building a place with HELOCs then after it is built we will finance it and pay off our HELOC, at least thats our plan. 

They are pros who understand real estate and can help you make a solid plan to help you accomplish your goals.

I'd like to accumulate enough properties to cash flow 6 figures, which would likely be a 20 year plan. 

If the tenants don't care for the pool properly, it could cost you thousands to fix.

I don't think they verified that the tenant was planning on leaving either.

I would also be careful talking to property managers - they may have no problem telling about "other" buildings, but change of ownership in their own building is a threat to their livelihood.

Over the next couple of years, I don’t plan to use the property often, but I may stay there occasionally when it’s not occupied.

I'd talk to your broker on what it'll sell for after the fact and where the market is heading over the time you plan to own it. 

@Tayvion Payton I don't care about price.
