Still my technical side comes out everyday and I think of tools I can build to assist in my search for a deal.I see so many opportunities to improve or simplify investors processes/business through the use of simple code.

hi everyone i am a newbie and i have a question about a line of credit i want to take on my personal residence.i have around 650k equity on a million dollar home with 350k (mortgage + old line of credit combined). i wanted to take a new line of credit of about 500k to pay off the old mortgage and line of credit to be left with around 150k cash for some home improvements. i have been seeing rates around 5% but suntrust (link below) has an offer for 3.75% plus -.25% discount if paying from a suntrust account making the rate 3.5%.

You can call local title companies for a property profile but I'm not sure they'll give it to a non-licensed person.

So, there is my intro, let me see where to add a pic to my profile.

Subtract 4 years of depreciation and add whatever capital improvements you made. 

Go to the upper right hand corner where you profile picture would be if you had one.

Seems like it is difficult to have any positive cash flow this way but I suppose once you refinance into a conventional loan this would improve. 

All said, there can be numerous reasons a property is listed for an extended amount of time that have nothing to do with the physical condition of the improvements.

The buyer was nervous about purchasing from a flipper so requested a "contractor warranty" that warrants the improvements we made (not wear and tear; only failure or things not working as they should).

Not only will tenants appreciate the improvement, it makes a positive first impression for not much money and says that the property is well managed.
