I found markets of opportunity I didn't even know existed before-hand. 

Or even vacant land. 

Not even sure how WWC can legally proceed with their plan.  

The first year I received a 3.56% return on 400K for a total of $ 14,232.91This distribution even included a waiver of feed of $1037.73.

Very good lighting inside&out (on a timer), plus motion activated lights as much as possible/appropriate (they make super bright LARGE led ones, even solar now so don't need to be hard wired). 

This would build a great team and build up the people out there and around you out there (even with you not being there).

It was really tough as FEMA was even involved in the flooding in Cicero, and for our tenants, they did nothing. 

But when I add in the cost of paying on the HELOC as well, it gets even farther from penciling.

Ok thank you, so a small balance will help to show I am active and bring a score to life even though I may pay some interest?

@Johnathon Thompson you need to build a trustworthy local team, which is NOT as easy you everyone thinks.As soon as many PMC's, agents, contractors, etc. hear an owner is OOS, they take the path of least resistance (at best) or look to scam the owner.So, an owner must ask a LOT of questions and do their due diligence and even if they find someone, apply "trust, but verify":)
