If you go it alone, rather than add to your list of questions I would recommend that you bone up on the various terms and, clauses and offsets regularly used in office leasing to help best achieve your clients goals.For example, when dealing with tenant improvements (item 7), the landlord might say "I wont pay for any TIs". in which case you could offer 50% rent or free rent for X number of months if the tenant  pays for 100% of TIs. 

So yes, your ongoing cash flow will be less once you borrow more, but, the reasons you'd be buying that second property are: it's undervalued; and/or it has potential for you to value-add using your specialist skills; and/or even when you refinance all your deposit back, it'll still be paid off by the tenants, with no further regular payments from you.

I would like to pull out a HELOC on a duplex that I bought for $92000, put down $13000, now have an existing loan for $79000, but if I can make a few updates and repairs to the exterior... this is in a market where this house would be worth $160000

Usually they will require the buyer to have some cash reserves to account for vacancy.Keep us updated, interesting question.

I think the issue she’s trying to fix is the ‘lag time’ between a booking on one platform to the update of another.

This time around we had planned to do some minor updating.

In truth the units (all 2/1) I have an average of $3,250 updates to each unit required to maximize rents. 

If you have a dog, please make sure to have his/her anal glands checked regularly. 

I wasn't getting notifications that I had replies and wasn't checking on it regularly.

What would you do in this industry if you lost your stream of regular income, but were sitting on $15,000?
