Apart from a lot of insurance claims.. how does price react short term?

We contracted with him to replace the wood in those two spots then sand the living room floor and stain it so it would match the rest of the apartment.

A single older guy moved out of a 2nd floor apartment.

I currently reside in a house with an apartment attached that is being rented out, and I own another single family residence I rent.  

I'm starting to poke around with the idea of starting out in the multifamily space with apartment investing.  

You are not going to be able to buy a QUAD priced at $160K if they only lend you $100K.If you go to larger multi-family unit dwelling you would be a passive investor as you are a beginner you don't bring much value to the table apart from a keen sense to learn REI.

So basically you have a property that you are currently living in that you have a HELOC on, and the bank is going to force you to close the HELOC once you convert it to an investment property, and you want to retain access to the ability to take out funds whenever you want without doing a conventional refi - is that right?

Over the last 6 months we have been talking more and more about diversifying in real estate, and the safest and most obvious way for us to jump in is to access our equity through a refi.

I figure I'd want to keep that handy for when the time comes that something goes out...and it's easier to access.

It's sad that it seems so much more acceptable for apartment communities or management companies to be reviewed on sites like yelp.
