I would like to have a clean debt sheet on my personal balance sheet.Gino

They wear nice clean shoes.

Hi, I'm in the very early phase of looking to buy a SFH rental up to 75K. I currently owe 280K on a 400k mortgage at 4% with excellent credit.  Considering 3 options to finance the purchase of the rental: 1) HELOC. 2)...

Both of those seem more "complicated" than a clean conventional financing offer without the contingency of your current home selling. 

Have those cash reserves ready so when we hit another bump you can clean up on those people that made poor decisions.

Are there any expenses that a property management company commonly incurs during the rental (eg, cleaning between renters, marketing, etc.) or are these usually all passed on to the owner?

Disclaimer: I am not a professional electrician.Yes, you have to provide a GFCI outlet in a bathroom.For new construction, I think the bathroom has to be on its own 20 amp circuit, but I'm not sure that's always been the case; it may have been 15 amps in the past.Like @Donald Howaniecsaid, you can get a combination GFCI and switch that fits in the space of one "regular" switch or outlet. 

Most of the time they will pay, but offer some type of value, whether it be a carpet clean, paint, or cleaning the exterior of the propertyGino

(google search)understand you CANNOT ask extra rent beside the approved amount, and sometimes the voucher may include utilities which means the $1,400 on the voucher may be 250 for utilities and 1,150 for tenant portion + hud.also depending on tenants changing financials and family changes, the % amount paid by hud and tenant may change over time.i would give a call to local office and also find fellow landlords in the area already working with section8 to network with.you want nice,clean, durable but not very base level. section 8 tenants usually have choices so DO NOT BE A SLUMLORD.you are a nice professional provider of quality home solutions for nice tenants!

There are at least 5-6 real estate investing groups in DFW that meet on a regular basis, although some seem to be more about single-family investing.
