I wouldn't suspect that your tenant is taking advantage of COVID since they could have stopped paying rent back in March 2020.   

Most of the large mangt. companies (Vacasa, TurnKey, Evolve) either have an online revenue calculator for local comps or they'll perform analysis for you. 

We saw a lot of downstate investors park cash up here through covid.

We were in the middle of a large flip when COVID hit. 

I have seen it a couple of times where, due to COVID, the seller does not want to show the property and risk the tenants getting COVID with tons of showings.

After much back and forth, Congress has approved the next round of stimulus relief for COVID-19.

I also want to try and start attending RE investor meetups, found through the BP website, but it is tough right now with Covid as you all know.So enough about me, what has worked for you all?

:) anyway, the market right now seems so crazy and unpredictable because of Covid and lack of inventory.

So far I know the husband in that home still has his job despite covid.

We have used a good portion of our HELOC to buy the house we are in and fix it up (we got a small loan to buy the house and because of COVID they never visually appraised the house and just gave us the HELOC and paid the loan with it).I've been using the stimulus money to pay down on the HELOC and am trying to throw extra cash at it.Total HELOC: $105kCurrently Used: $87kAvailable: $18kIf more stimulus comes through I expect to throw another $6-8k at it.My question is, do I need to pay this completely off before I should borrow against my house to get an investment property?
