Do not refinance a primary residence for this because you will be increasing your payments, but not getting anything for it unless the investment you purchase is giving you such a great return that it doesn't make sense not to do it.I have used HELOCs on both my primary and investment properties (when I could get them) as short-term debt.

You will have a pipeline.If you cannot do 5000 letters a month, do what you can whether its 3000 or 2000.When you're doing a small volume of mailers like 2000, I would make sure your list is actually big enough.

It's not going to force anything, but you can let them know "hey I'm sorry you're having a rough time, I'm willing to work with you on this but I need you to work with me as well".Check with your attorney for the deposit, in FL the deposit has to be made out to all occupants on the lease, so that could cause complications.

I am a licensed real estate agent, but the only transactions I have done have been my own.
