The answer is every penny they can possibly recover from you including your rental properties which are not protected the same way a primary residence is. 

Hello BP team,I’m going to utilize a HELOC from my personal residence to fund investment properties.  

It's going to be a never-ending stream of issues with this tenant, but perhaps you can take care of the next 2-3 now and save yourself a little time. 

Our issue is my mother is using Medicaid which is a senior citizen Medical care.

You have to be careful, especially if the contractor is not a referral and you "found" them online. 

New Orleans residents feel that AirBNB's have ruined the neighborhoods and character of living in New Orleans, making housing unaffordable for musicians and service industry workers and that the city has plenty of hotels for tourists to stay in.Adding units may be very easy or next to impossible depending on the zoning and neighborhood where the house is located.

I find that the best lenders/brokers out there are the ones that care about you as the individual and are willing to cultivate a mutually beneficial relationship that lasts a long time.

Another strategy but it’s something I’d be very careful with because I’ve heard of a lot of people being taken advantage of by unscrupulous contractors is to find a very low cost of entry location, think $5,000-$30,000 single family houses that need renovations and then rent them out.

Care to compare notes?

If you don't care about appreciation at all you should look at Cleveland, OH.
