Maybe she can help cover expenses and motivate the remaining renter to move out.

Our business is based on dealing with motivated sellers. 

A refi can also be nice as it puts cash in your pocket and gets you really motivated to go find an investment.To answer your question about a lender liking the HELOC for the down payment I wouldn't see an issue as long as the lender knew in advance of approving you for the loan as it would change your DTI.If the HELOC is big enough to outright purchase the property you can just refi then payoff the HELOC rinse and repeat (this is my favorite).

(this property is now off market) This sparked that REI motivation and mindset that I discovered a few years back.

I think the owner is motivated and may take a lower, fast-close offer.

Can I elect to combine these two and take bonus bonus deprecations on both if I can achieve real estate professional status on the property that I manage myself?

I’ve had to deal with agents who were only motivated to sell me what they wanted me to buy.

I have spoken to a motivated seller who is interested in possibly signing a contract and the property is a condo in Atlanta.

I feel as though real estate will be my vehicle to achieve my goal and if you feel the same, and have something to share, please reach out!
