I’m personally based in Houston, TX, and I’ve noticed over the years that a good realtor can do a lot more for an investor than just listing a property.

Our short-term residential investment property loans are typically 60-80% LTV and all are personally guaranteed by the borrower(s) -- we pull credit, background and PFS on each guarantor, verify experience, verify liquidity, underwrite the property, neighborhood and zip code.

Generally there are multiple units for each "zone" if you will when I've seen them installed.Regarding your problem at hand, I personally would simply adjust your plan to move and make your initial plan to get the current issues resolved, while costly now, in the long run holding onto the unit will likely pay off. 

(G) Acceptable forms of payment of Rent (including Additional Rent) are ___ personal check, ___ cashier’s check, ___ bank check, ___ money order, and ___ the following online/ACH payment methods ____________________.

I’ve met most of my partners through in-person events because it’s easier to get a feel for someone’s personality and long-term vision.

With respect to paying $44k off on your HELOC, I personally think that is totally fine and a great start. 

My goal is to build a comprehensive resource that not only answers key questions but also provides clarity on the entire process.The draft is based on my personal experiences working with clients, but I want to ensure it reflects the broader community's insights.

By themselves, improvements to property you own are considered to by personal property and not real property. 

Awesome to see a new investor-minded person here.. do you have a favorite real estate success story already?

I personally did a couple last year that I self furnished and self manage while working full time.
