@Michael Mullins  pls keep me updated, I am interested as wellBy the way, Wells Fargo does HELOC on a rental :) nice surprise from the big bank :)I am looking to refi as well, my previous experience - local banks offer better rates and I am checking with Quicken Loans as well.

However; no sales tax is really nice too.

For past two month as you requested , I have visit in person in your apartment and you want me to personally delivery a signed rent receipt ?

I have never heard of bringing a buyer to the first visit.

Nice!

Will have some very nice finishes.

My plan is to visit the house tomorrow to verify that it is vacant.

Another advantage to you buying property back home is when you visit for the holiday's you can potentially write off your travel and cost of stay as property management costs.

This may lessen your down payment requirement, AND give you a place to stay when you visit.

The church is across the street from a nice well kept school with plenty of street parallel parking.
