The few that had performed similar exercise typically were on condo boards and had to do this exercise for some reason and those people were not surprised by my numbers.So I believe my numbers to be as accurate as I can forecast but I have had some surprises such as I still have a working 1956 furnace (In San Diego where this unit is located the furnace gets used less than 30 days a year). 

There is a level of complexity to the process that requires there to be a retail client focused team that most big manufacturers are not able to perform.

Another thing to consider is that if your portfolio is under performing, economy pressures, or even bank's own risk exposure at the time could be reasons for the Bank to deny LOC which will cut off your access to funds. 

Among the biggest projects anchoring the boom: The $524 million Bucks arena.Northwestern Mutual's $450 million office tower and $100 million apartment high-rise.The $137 million BMO Harris Financial Center office tower.The $122 million Couture apartment high-rise.The $80 million conversion of the Warner Grand Theater into the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra's performance hall.The $50 million Westin Hotel.Large projects already completed over the past year include the $101 million 833 East office building, the $53 million latest phase in The North End apartments and retail development, and the $52 million Kimpton Journeyman Hotel.Finally, there are several new and ongoing downtown-area developments below the $50 million mark, including apartments, offices and hotels.Of course, Milwaukee has it's challanges too.

I know that I start with the 3 day notice to perform, but I was wondering if i was able to evict for the water bill.

The same situation happens on a down trend, where some refuse to (short) sell hoping for recovery, but only losing even more, yet others panic at a normal blip or spike, selling or buying too soon.I am a believer of 'past performance statistically increases the odds of similar future performance.'

He is willing to take the risk of losing a little market upside with locking into a tangible asset he owns.I tended to be fairly consistent in annually looking at my portfolio and seeing what had performed, what had not, and re-balancing as needed (based on traditional pie chart models of diversification).  

I'm trying to weigh and compare having say 3 performing investment properties in two years and then applying for a VA loan vs buying our primary residence with 20% down then trying to invest with a HELOC.

No two properties will perform the same.

Entrance strategy would be to use this money to buy 2 or 3 properties, perform minor repairs/upgrades, and fund an emergency/reserve account.
