Rent is still due on the 1st, late fee on the 5th, eviction starts on the 10th.Wife of 20 years left you for a pot-smoking, unemployed 21-year-old neighbor living in his parents basement (true story, not mine)? 

Is the gas used only for the water heater, or does it also run the furnace, cook stoves, etc?

Disclaimer- I'm not a attorney, but have paid actual CPAS and Estate/real estate attorneys a pot of money.

For any fellow Cook County suburban landlords or tenants out there... if you had any financial hardship due to COVID-19 you could be eligible for up to 12 months of missed rent and utility payments plus 3 months of future payments.

If you want to speak to the best professional, in my opinion, in the area about using trapped equity to finance the purchase of additional rental property, I would contact Joe Massey at Castle and Cooke Mortgage in Denver.Until you do that look at this simple example of how using that equity can help you build wealth:Hypothetical Situation AnalysisCurrent home purchased 10 years ago for $500,000 with 20% down.Current Property Value $800,000Original loan amount $400,000 Interest rate 5%Total Monthly payment, excluding escrows$2,147Current Loan Amount $325,000Equity ($800,000 - $325,000) $475,000If you were to refinance your home at its current value with a 30-year fixed rate mortgage, two things would happen.

In one case, I calculated a RETURN of $290 just from my rental property lumped into the same pot as my current salary. 

The culprit was a bowling pot of water with "tea leaves".
