First, is there an actual recorded easement for the lateral?

One of the guy came back 2 days later.

As long as the capital grown out of an equity creation exceeds ones living expenses, one can accumulate capital to later deploy in an "investment."  

I read the first part of your post, I'll read the rest later..... :)Good luck!

Who knows what else later on.Alright, I think that's good for an introduction.Looking forward to meeting you all.Best,Elder

Scenario: Remarriage later in life.

I'd rather be safe now then find out later when in the middle of a deal.

I looked at a property today that was listed by a wholesaler I get emails from, he listed the property at $48,000 I met him at the property and looked it over I called him later and offered him $30,000 he could not except my offer because his deal was for 37k with the homeowner and he needed to get at least 40k so he can make his 3K.

I'll post more on those at a later date. 

HELOC's typically have floating rates or fixed rates for much shorter than a 30 year term.Closing with cash (or money from a HELOC) and then refinancing later (pre-or post 6 months), will result in less closing costs than closing with a loan and then refinancing later.
