We then hired a surveyor to survey the property so we could perform a duplex split.

My current plan is to start by securing a HELOC.

My other concern is that I don’t like tying up my money until almost age 60 & given the governments finances & what’s happening & about to happen to social security I don’t trust the Fed’s to even keep the Roth IRA benefits in tact to even the early adopters & others after it was promised too.

Also, what does the contract say about the transfer of security deposits? 

Luckily the flooring was pretty level and secure and this did not pose as a problem.We moved around the closets in the extended room so we could completely close off the passthrough.

Instead, start networking with note investors and see if they are willing to dump some non-performing notes to you at a discount. 

Has anyone used the FCI Exchange site to buy performing or non-performing notes?

Since my security deposit has not been paid out the outgoing tenants yet, I evaluate if this is something they caused. 

Now still have 64K left which planning on using to secure 2 to 3 additional properties. 

With increased security checks and immigration issues in the United States, what do I need to tell the border officers when I cross the border (by car)?
