@Satish ReddyYour best bet is to reach to estate planning attorney for your personal protection and then to real estate attorney for your properties.

Is this allowed/legal or are they required to adjust my assessment to the actual cost and their variance report would simply reflect an understatement every month as they simply over-budgeted for it?

@Jaron Walling I think your best bet would be to quit your job and try and squatting in vacant properties until you can steal the property from the homeowner.

For a loan that size working with a local bank or credit union would probably be your best bet. 

Meetup.com is your best bet and just search for ones in the area.

Otherwise I would personally take the opportunity to update the appliances for them but tell them the rent is going to be adjusted as well. 

The interest rate on this HELOC is currently 3.76%, but adjustable.

If anyone has any contacts please let me know.I was trying to think of a polite way to word it, but as often happens, @Lucas Carl beat me to the punch.Your best bet is to do what the rest of us fellow Northerners do - get comfortable with out of state investing (yes there’s a learning curve but it aint rocket science!)

I would say your best bet is to stick to an actual "30 calendar" day notice, and to specify that in your lease agreements.

Off market deals are probably your best bet so connections are really important.
