My credit has been fixed from my mess back then and is clean with 1 trade line as I rebuild my own personal credit too.

@Matthew NelsonWelcome to the site.Good to see another member with a background in the trades.

I can't explain why your browser is trying to download it instead of executing it, but it's nothing to worry about.Is it still happening?

Most HELOCs are held in portfolio and as such do not trade down to the street all that often.  

An option is, to pay a contractor (assuming you could find someone who knows how to) or estimator to give you an accurate / detailed estimate, separating materials and labor per trade, to verify your rehab costs.

Mortgage interest on your primary residence is not deductible, the trade-off is there is no capital gains due on the sale of your primary residence.There are many more subtle differences, but this gives you a starting picture.

Thanks in advance for any feedback you guys can provide.Sincerely,E.

No need to trade out of one unit that is gaining equity and riding appreciation only to buy an overpriced asset in it's place.If you are ever in the Portland area let me know.

Church leaders, professors, soccer moms, retired trades contractors and the only RE experience or assistance might be from a Realtor who volunteers for the feather.
