However, if you're running your numbers then you'll want to make sure that you're including all the interested paid for the money borrowed from your HELOC as well as the carrying costs including utilities, insurance and property taxes.

Now for the house you are leaving behind…I like to have this one freshly painted, and take action on any maintenance items.  

Listing photos were terrible, tenant vetting was lackadaisical, checks were sent to wrong addresses, tennants weren't properly vetted, charges for "mulch" and landscaping were charged but never physically carried out.

They also sell items at farmers markets.

@Francisco PineiroYou could call a few home inspectors in the market you are investing in and see if they do draw inspections so you know the items are correctly done before sending funds

Cash to invest (enough for deposits, skin in the game lenders want you to have, closing costs, carrying costs, and to kick off rehab work).2.) 

Buyer of note thinks seller still carries the insuranceWe sold a loan once to someone and a few months after we sold it the buyer of the loan called us asking for a copy of our insurance.

We removed a chimney to open up the space and updated all the major ticket items—new electrical, HVAC, and roof.

If we need customized items, like a Leasehold DOT on an airplane hangar portfolio, then we (borrower) pay extra.
