We are considering selling a home in California which now seems to be a very competitive market. Curious to hear if anyone has used Redfin’s Agents and can comment on their service/efficiency. They seem to claim a low...

@Yannes Chiang yes a Resident Manager may not make sense, however, it starts the process of moving tenants around in the hope that additional changes occur in the future.You could also work directly with a Property Management company to determine the best strategy that will work with hiring and using a Resident Manager.

We are now looking at using a HELOC on this property to fund a subsequent deal.

I am using a paid background check and call employer, current landlord.  

If using a lender this is a non issue.

Can someone with experience using a HELOC let me know if it was beneficial or if anyone had a negative experience? 

If the seller is using a property manager, do I have to keep using it, or can I use a different one?

I’m thinking of using a realtor for the initial tenants search, but not for management.

Using a 3rd party that is paid directly by the borrower does seem to have its advantages so far.

The thing is, i will be using a HELOC for the full cost of the home plus rehab.
