My biggest complaint between the two is the lack of light colored options without wild color variation.Can anyone chime in with their experiences?

But your comment is still valid and that's my biggest concern.

It's one of the biggest financial perks of owning a rental property.

That is my biggest fear right now.

When you own free and clear you INCOME is higher.The second and most important advantage to using a HELOC is that the loan is open-endedThe first, and biggest disadvantage is that the OP is talking about putting his HOME at risk for something that he admits has little or no cash flow.

I've met more of these guys than I have guys who claimed they were (FBI, CIA, Treasury Department, "other" Justice Department) but would tell "just me" in this bar how they had the goods on Bill Clinton (notice I didn't put him on this list, sorry, PROFESSIONALS ONLY, no amateurs) for having (1) run the biggest coke smuggling ring in the US, (2) personally murdered Foster, (3) provided the gun that murdered Foster.

I want to say that cash flow is not my biggest concern as it is with most investors on this site.
