That's the beauty of a HELOC, the choice is yours entirely.I would NOT suggest using the HELOC as permanent financing for a rental.

They hire decorators.

Studied abroad in Italy and LOVED the beautiful environment, great food (you haven't had Italian food until you eat it over there), and hospitable people.

When next I have a vacancy in one of these properties, I may just rent some furniture and pop-in some decor to see what happens.

@Erin M.This question had much to do with where one is in life, what they have accomplished already and what they have not.I have my own unique view of this story.I have my Masters DegreeI have owned beautiful homesI have traveled the worldI am paying for my kids to go to UniversityI grew up in Inglewood Ca in the 1980's in the height of gang and drug wars in Los Angeles at that time.  

And while it might look like a pig to you (because you're probably right, the place is probably run down and needs a rehab) to him, it's still the beautiful property that has brought him a solid stream of cash flow for many years.

I turn it up a bit so that it is noticeable as soon as you enter the front door.For front porch security lights, I just pick a decorative light that I like the look of with a wide motion detector lens.

Another is  Owners with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS).Consider focusing your letter or post card on the recipients and mention benefits of working with you rather then the traditional realtor.Selling your home can be easier than you think.No need to fix it up or re-decorate.

A lot of people have been hurt by those practices, and this community is strong about keeping the ethics high and transparent. 4)Diverse Community Event, Webinars, Discussion & Seminars: while you may disagree with someone’s opinion or strategy or idea, that is the biggest beauty.

It sure is a different world here lolThe Historical District is very unique and beautiful IMO.
