Ignoring Red Flags: Pay attention to potential problems highlighted during inspections.3.

However, over the years there have been several favorable rullings with regard to other structures (especially types of trusts) that have most folks feeling comfortable with this practice.

Do they pay rent on time every month, if not - evict.

I don't care about someone's color, religion, sexual proclivities, their stance on green energy, political affiliation, etc.I want people that pay rent on time, take care of the property, and communicate when needed.

I am always paying attention to job sites that are similar in scopes to my own and build sub contractor relationships that way.

I can see why the ins company is dancing around and not paying 

Since you bought this for $5k less than the appraised value, I don't think there would be a big enough jump in adding value where you can do a cash-out refinance, and you would likely be bringing money to the table to pay off the HELOC with a standard refinance. 

Hey folks, Any thoughts on the rental market in Dayton TN?

After about 2 months of waiting (and paying mortgage), I finally rented it out for $1000!

And this works great, when it works, but as soon as the place goes vacant, or rents drop, or a major repair is needed, you still need to pay your debts, so the risks to your cash flow are increased.
