@Rashaniqua Cason, You can either refinance your property or do a home equity line of credit (HELOC) on it.

Hi, definitely have a rental agreement as well as a background/credit check (many apartment associations provide both which is great).

Track history of success6.

Try a local bank or credit union. 

(not counting our Home Depot credit that is temporary and will be paid off in a few months).

You need long term debt to make the property cash flow. a HELOC is more like a credit card, it's a revolving debt.

The buyer made it clear she wanted to refinance it in a year once she improved some credit and could acquire an FHA, which I was fine with.

Does anyone have a way of tracking all your expenses and income.

Some landlords realize this puts extra money in their pocket and are fine with it.However, once a tenant has not paid the rent by mid month, it's hard for them to get back on track because the next month's rent will soon be due as well.

Most large syndicators/sponsors are now using online portals for investors to track their investment.
