They offer all of these bells and whistles to sell you a grossly marked up home that they set the sale price and then knock off (Ghost funds) fake credits.Then if they leave that area and do not build any more high priced homes guess what happens real fast.

@Ali Ahmed I am not affiliated with @Mark Ainley but you may be able to find the list he referenced here on the Straight Up Chicago Investor's Podcast website.

Generally if you are looking at a rate-term refinance (i.e. less than $2000 cash-out or just refinancing into a long-term lower-rate loan but same loan amount) then you should be fine - if looking to cash-out on the refi - generally will need to wait six months of seasoning however there are a few lenders that will do cash-outs at the 3 month seasoning mark

.: Quote from @Mark Cruse: This area has had hundreds of thousands of dollars in depreciation over a few months? 

A property manager would charge 7% to 10% a month, plus I am assuming a mark up on any maintenance issues that they coordinate. 

@Amy KimI recommend connecting with @Mark Ainley

Long before you reach the 10 year mark and start making payments, you can refinance your heloc and start over if needed, as long as the equity has not decreased.
