Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

The article said that HELOCs are floating-rate instruments, so they're less attractive to take on a floating-rate loan at a higher rate than a general low and a fixed rate.My issue is that I don't want to pay $3,000 to do a cash-out refinance and I don't know how long it will take to get a deal (WHATEVER I define a DEAL as ;) ), but maybe I'm missing something here...If you are approved for a HELOC and the value of your home goes down, will you still have access to all of the funds?
