This encourages them to pay the last month of rent and leave house clean so that they get their large deposit back.If they get behind or break the lease, this extra helps offset what they owe plus any damage or cleaning you have to take care of.It is a small percentage of the time that someone turns in a 30 day notice and leaves the place clean and undamaged to get their deposit back.

The foundation there was not easily visible from the basement as that section is a crawl space that's too small to fit into.I had recently heard of a company called RAM JACK that does this sort of work. 

My question is if we end up needing to take out a small mortgage, will the new lender calculate dti with the draw period payment on HELOC?

I hope to start with a single-family or small multi-family home and work my way up from there. 

You are correct that you can set this all up yourself, with the exception to needing a signature by a Registered Agent - which can even be purchased for a small fee.I want to preface this explanation by stating that this is a system that I find is my "go-to," but there are stronger entities that cost much more as well as cheaper entities that don't protect you as well.

It has a locked in low payment in an area of swiftly climbing rents.My question is should I use my HELOC to invest in a cash flowing 3 unit property, or start small and work my way up to that someday?

Hi @Roger EvansI know this is a late reply to this post, but if you ever need visuals done for a project of yours, large or small, please let me know.  

A great way to get started is to purchase something small and distressed then do a live-in flip.
