Even though the end result will be very good for everyone i would just hate to put them in a bind by taking any extra funds they have if they have an unexpected purchase come up.

I have 6 total rental units:* 1 SFR in Pasadena, CA* 1 SFR in Barstow, CA* 2 SFR's in Mansfield, TX* 1 Duplex in South Gate, CA I'm interested in growing my portfolio by leveraging some of the equity from these properties....I basically own these properties almost by accident and just being "lucky"... so while I own 6 units of investment income, I don't feel I know very much and could be doing more to grow more quickly.

If you use your credit card for the rehab, what else would you have to fall back on for (un)expected expenses?

I'm totally new to RE. 2 Months ago bought my house by complete accident and love it.

There will be unknowns and unexpected things that come up, but the more prepared for them you are the better off it will be when they do happen.  

Trump though has made some crazy promises about foreign policy and exporting millions of people. whether or not you think that's a good idea, it could have major, unexpected consequences.

The risk is that he tells you one thing and then something unexpected comes up.

well ok,i have been driving truck for over 30 years, then lost my job a year ago because of an accident that has taken me out of the truck...

Whoa, I just now realized that I accidently included a $198 per month misc fee.

We sold it almost 2 years ago just as the market was turning in our favor, but by then had exhausted savings and had some unexpected medical bills from our daughter that forced our hand to sell it and take the small amount of equity we had.
