There is no bathroom on the second, each floor has a stair case in the middle breaking up the floors into small rooms, and no closets anywhere in the house.

I have two questions: 1) I am thinking of buying a second-home in Florida that has yet to be built direct from the developer.

First is that Yale requires you to push STAR and then 4 number code and most guests forget the star, second it wore out after 1 1/2 years and did not provide enough power to completely close deadbolt even with new batteries.  

I was curious if anyone here knows or has good luck with getting a second mortgage on a primary residence in the state of California?

I will be using a private money lender - my father in-law.

Hello Pablo,Congratulations on your second investment property.

Our vacancy rate since 1-1-2016 thru YTD has averaged 1.09% .Always remember it is a business first an investment second and you will do fine!

Every free second I have, I'm listening to podcasts/audio books, reading, or browsing the BP forums.

If someone was thinking about buying a second home and keeping the first (living in one and both producing rental income), as a way to invest so there's money in the future for retirement, is it better to do a home equity loan, HELOC, or cash-out refi?
