I'd like to build on it (if anyone familiar with the area has a contractor they'd recommend I'm collecting names!)

It is likely the debt may not be collectable as the deadbeat clients are keeping everything on an under the table cash basis.

Hello, I have a few SFH rental properties in downtown Phoenix that are on .4 acres lot.

Metro in 2022 with the expansion of the Silver Line.

While doing my research I read many books on the topic. 

Instead of focusing on the entire project, I’d ask myself, “What’s the first small thing I can do to move forward?”

The purchase was $375,000 and the rest was used for renovations.My cost bases in the building will be around $740,000.I refinanced the building with a $900,000 loan.I have an offer on the building of $1,400,000Total capital gains would be about $660,000So, my question is after selling the property (for easy math) lets say I walk away with $500,000 after paying off the bank loan.

My question is if i should use a HELOC on my primary home and using that as down-payment for investment properties?

But, if i understand your question correctly you're referring to an agent leaving the market due to the new NAR law. if that's the reason,..then we can assume it's because of the commission negotiation....not due to getting paid a higher amount on a deal.

I remember hearing some really great seller financing advice on a BP podcast, it was probably episode 13, i'd check it out if you haven't yet!
