I am trying to receive all of the education I can to gain the courage to make the next steps. 

If the property suits our management style, we would then take over tenant communication and accounts receivables.

I specify in my ad that an excellent credit score and income is required as well as documentation (paystubs, bank statements, references, etc) and background check (costs about $25-30)I rent in a B neightborhood, I charge above market rent for the area but keep the place in top-notch shape.

Looking at tax records on a house and am trying to figure out what this document is.

Keep some documentation that makes it clear you used HELOC for business purposes (timing if HELOC with timing if expenses paid).

Since there is no due on sale clause (except in a few cases, so read the docs) it could be done as a SUB2.VA's are also assumable, again with qualification, so it's possible to do a VA as above (again, check the documents).Overall, the numbers of SUB2's that are done are probably small, and the number that get called, even smaller.

In 2015, two significant things happened: first, my ex-husband went through the first of several layoffs and it became clear that I would not be receiving any support from him that year (or ever again, as it turned out).
