Now I'm getting frequent emails referring to the upfront rent as a 'security deposit' (dream on) and they still want that goddamned form filled in handing over my whole life!

I was a coach for a long time and I found that it is not uncommon for people to buy rental properties and have no idea what to do next, like you, so I wrote my book where everything is in one place and I could stop repeating myself!

If this is true, should I look into the 5% conventional instead of taking the intrest rate hit and also having to close out the Heloc due to refinancing or should cash out refinace my current residence take the cash to use on the next property instead of using the Heloc and repeat every year assuming that I can get a property for under market value and use the equity every year to purchase the next property?

Do other landlords perform frequent apartment checks?
