This means that if the real estate market takes a downturn or your investment doesn't go as planned, you could be at risk of losing not just the profits from the flip, but also your own home if you're unable to repay the HELOC.Not at all trying to be downer, just food for thought as you iron out your strategy.All the best to you!

I even found mold and bugs in our basement from workers leaving food behind.

They decided to make a 5X5 box for a closet in one of the bedrooms instead of knocking a wall out and closing the other sides sliding door that was originally the closet.4) B unit panel was damaged by someone likely the tenant and has wires dangling out and now we have to replace and update it.5) A unit didn't have the right switches and amp levels, so a panel upgrade was completed to support the newer AC system that was installed.6) B unit flushed their childs diapers down the toilet and clogged the unit up and we ended up having to spend 6k on having a plumber come in exuviate adn reinstall a new sewer cleanout.7) Replaced every toilet due to damages/wear and tear and had multiple roof leaks from upper unit to lower unit. 8) Due to the leak ended up having sewage remediation company come out and rip out drywall, carpet, faming, and plumbing.9) Due to the toilets and sewage am still currently working on replacing the carpet which was brand new due to the unit turn... 10) The tenant in unit B cut holes in the walls of the exterior of the home and because they leave food out in their kitchen, we now have rats in our walls and a random racoon.Now before I go on to the last major item note that most of these issues are completed and were completed in under a week.

I've also read Tyson Foods also recently invested $48M into the long-term growth of its poultry plant - hopefully adding 70+ jobs - and the town just reopened their new 33K SF library.

Expenses (Monthly):$500 a month for student loans (total of 16k left)$1,500 per month dedicated to various expenses including car insurance, food, entertainment, and other bills (Won’t go into detail on how its broken up but it is deficiently accounted for meticulously on my own budget and is paid off in full every month on my credit card)No current rent expenses Car is currently paid off.

It was good food for thought. 

In my situation, they took all their furniture, clothes, food, toiletries.

Feel free to reach out so we can set something up either remotely or over some coffee/drinks and maybe catch a game and some food. 

like in terms of food not strip clubs,  hahah

I'm confident we can cash flow enough money as is with little advertisement, but I'd like to make this more appealing to renters in a rapidly growing city (just crossed the 10k population mark) with new businesses and commercial food chains showing up in the next couple of years.
