If you can raise rents in the future that may turn it into a winner, but you will have to cover the shortfall until the leases expire.

I live in the rear unit and after refinancing, plus raising rent this round, I'm actually making $425 a month before expenses.

There are also systems specific to investors and investor management for raising capital but they are not inexpensive.For all of my companies I have always used Microsoft office to mange contacts, calendar email, etc.

It raises fewer red flags when your dealing with a foreclosure and fewer red flags means a smoother closing.

I raised rent $50 per unit.

I can see the county using this information to raise my taxes.

I like the strategies of either seller financing (as much as possible), OR raising minimal debt/equity capital for your business in conjunction with private loans.  

Looking at alternative ways to raise capital, I’ve inquired with a couple different companies about a HELOC on our personal property, but I’m curious what you all may have to offer up on here in regards to good institutions to inquire with that offer that type of loan?

Hi @Danny Lee, you sound like a great son, your parents clearly did a good job of raising you.
