I agree with the other Matt - for investor purposes, Redfin isn't bad. 

Jon, I agree with everything you said, except the implication that the smaller units won't get rented in an economic downturn. :)  Sure, the ones feeling the squeeze the most won't be traveling, but there will be plenty of people who can still manage a week/weekend away, and maybe they'd normally rent a bigger/nicer place but the smaller unit will do just fine.  

Focus on providing clients VALUE, not a discount.Edit: I 100% agree with the post above me.

@David Morgan I completely agree that leveraging debt vice equity is my default as well.

I have to agree with the previous posts...

I agree that the maintenance provision is far too small for that property even if you remodeled it to perfection. 

Hi @Lozell Mitchell - I agree with the above posters, just factor it into the monthly rental amount.

Definitely agree with Aaron about talking to a lender first, but I really like the idea of a heloc and having the ability to use it for investing, pay it off, and then continue using it after paying it off or down...but I guess it also depends on the kind of investing u plan on using it for

@Justin Seng I agree with numerous people before me, being that it is a complete preference. 

(Honestly had to search that up)I agree.
