If I apply the $30k LOC to the mortgage principal, the total interest reduces by $63k to $41k total and the mortgage is paid off in 17 years. 2) If it takes me 10 years to pay back the LOC, the interest paid on the LOC will be $10k. 3) If I just make an extra $300/month principal payment, the total interest on the mortgage reduces to $47k.

I have a tenant who applied and said they were never evicted.

the terms of the leases in place will dictate what you can and can't do.Chances are there is only 1 water meter, and splitting it 3 ways is usually the beginning of tenant-tenant conflicts.You could probably give somebody a rent credit to take care of the lawn, but if the lawn is generally used as a common area for all tenants, the landlord usually covers that cost.You could always change lease terms when the leases expire - but as a rule, the leases stay with the tenants who are in the property even when a property is sold.

As a rule I just don’t consider cities that have a net population loss.

I found a company that has construction, management and brokerage under 1 roof and operates in Indy, Charlotte and Kansas City..These markets have population >1 Million with consistent growth; Good jobs and low unemployment, inexpensive houses in working class neighborhoods that create returns of at least the 1% rule and are cities with excellent credit ratings allowing them to invest back into the city.My first purchases 5 years ago included visiting the company and interviewing the employees for the systems they use, inspecting the houses and then reviewing the monthly reports once the purchases were made.

is there a rule of thumb estimate %?

One philosophy that applies here is the availability of money is more important than the cost of money.

We could probably pass the vacant rule (if I what I read online is correct).
