. - In my experience power will be shut off but will be resumed without payment in circumstances involving families/children, elderly, people with medical conditions, outdoor temp influences, etc.

Almost never hear about medical research, but two GIANT research hospitals..UT Southwestern and MD Anderson in Houston.

My VA loan is tied up in another rental property so that is not even an option (plus can't use it if not owner-occupied).I was out of work for almost a year due to a serious medical condition, so I am not sure if conventional is the way to go.I also don't have a huge amount for down payment ($10,000) since I was out of work.I also own another rental property that has about $50,000 in equity.Question: Should I consider a HELOC or HE Loan for some of the financing?
