Not knowing details, smells like loan fraud with a straw buyer.

Hi Jonathan, I know Tim personally and have for years.

Thankfully, you changed your mind on this.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

It really requires patience, knowing your goals and what you want and being ready to jump once you find the deal you need. 

I have spent a great deal of time operating in the construction industry as a company owner, and I know the processes and challenges that come with the job.

We know that a dual fuel system would be more optimal, but the cost of running a gas line and venting is likely higher than adding another circuit for the heat strip.Furthermore, we are looking for recommendations for an HVAC installer in Chicago.

I thought your post asking if the rent was reasonable meant you didn’t know and were just guessing.

I apologize if I wasn't clear on my question, I didn't really go into my plans for how I would invest as I didn't think it really pertained to my question, yes I know I should not purchase a rental using a HELOC and certainly that wasn't the plan.Whether it be a flip or brrrr, I would use some investment vehicle that would allow me to pay back the money.Roll into as when I purchase my next primary home, use the equity towards the house.The premise of my question was just is owning a home expensive enough now to where it'd be worth putting more money towards it when purchasing to lower payment/pay off quicker, or would it still be worth it to use all of that money towards other real estate. 

They might tell you they can't release any info to you without SS number or some kind of authorization or detailed info.Who knows how fast a lender forecloses.
