Also, multiple inquiries won't negatively affect your credit if they occur within a 2 month (I believe) window, but soliciting now and then again later might.

I would also advise that you get multiple quotes from contractors which includes the entire scope of the project including any potential overruns that can occur. 

@Josh Banksper investopiaReal estate wholesaling occurs when a party (the "wholeseller") contracts with a home seller, markets the home to potential buyers, and then assigns the contract to one of them.

Install a vent hood or a more powerful vent hood on the stove.In my jurisdiction if there is no working detector and a fire occurs the landlord faces legal charges.

You would also have a higher interest rate I believe on a heloc and the bank would have more power on calling or canceling the line if a down market were to occur is my understanding.

I always used to notice at the accounting firm I worked at that most of our richest clients built most of their wealth in Real Estate, but it never occurred to me to try to do that myself.

So very likely that when lender claims it "advanced" the taxes pursuant to some right reserved in the security instrument and adds to the balance... borrower will deny that is how things occurred, and they may be right.Idea is to protect against that possibility by getting a separate judgment lien for the taxes paid.

Just trying to wrap my head around the context of how this "sale" occurred. 

No taxable event has occurred  

Will an accountant know how to perform tax write off‘s as in 2017 only expenses occurred no income, if it helps I purchased it as an investment property and paid 20% down. 2.
