Hit me up if you ever want to chat REI in maine. i called the hard money firm you recommended to me on my recent posr, (milk street capital) I may pursue them!

The main I’m leaning on to this decision to sell my home and rent is for many various reasons.

I don't know the group so can't comment, but the first rule to earn credibility on the internet and THIS site is to have a profile pic and enough posts for someone to gauge your intent.

My intention was to flip this duplex and put it on the market after a light cosmetic rehab.

Just mainly using it just for the ability to move quickly and make cash offers, leaning towards 60% HELOC/40% cash, then refinance just wanted to see what some others were doing. 

Camden City's main goal is to bring people to work AND live in there.

The main key to your performance is great photos and little extras that push you to the top.

If you are advertising it but have no intention of letting anyone actually rent it for a few months while you make improvements, that would not work.3) While I think there is an argument to be made for using the property tax assessment, I think if you have an actual appraisal that lists the value of the land and building you would have to have a strong justification for doing so (assume that you are going to have to defend the decision to the IRS). 

I’m still fairly new to the podcasts and have only listened to probably 30 or so between the main show and the money show / mostly recent shows.

I spend 8 hours a day in a cubical, and I don't want this to be my life...A little about me:I just completed my MA in Music Business.I work full-time on a 50k/year salary at a music tech company.I was lucky enough to be able to save up 30k in cash.
