Sure the terms can be different as fixed and mixed rates can have up to a 2% fee for early pay down.

Question, can i use HELOC from primary residence to buy land somewhere else and be able to deduct interest that I pay on HELOC?

I would pay Wealthability if I see that the proposal would indeed save us more than we pay for the fee. 

Do they take care of the place, pay rent on time, etc? 

You won't pay tax anyway through that.

This means that you will probably need to pay registration and filing fees in at least 2 states if you don’t buy CA property as a CA resident.Any lawsuits should be limited to the assets of the LLC and not your personal assets (assuming you run the LLC appropriately and the corporate veil is not pierced, some debate as to SMLLC).

We had our attorney terminate the MTM, so she quickly offered via our attorney to pay the $130 she held back for cleaning, her MD copays & meds, also pay the rent overdue for that month.

This will make it a passive investment and you will not have to pay as much in capital gains. 

She also received extra money from Illinois Housing for a month I was no longer living there. 

Developers have just started raising offers since the rezoning, so getting one of those properties sooner rather than later will be great, because by the time you want to sell the market will tell you what developers are willing to pay.
