Not a huge concern out here, but depending on the cost you could go with a few ring doorbells and a combo lock if it were cheaper.

Two of the common areas of concern for HELOCs I see out there is the 10 year maturity date and the adjustable rate.

I know 3 X times monthly income is needed to rent a place , between my pension and 457 b withdrawals , I will meet income requirements, credit scores are good for both, credit card is high but I am managing it with no problem, tenant record is excellent (never late on rent payment on my life), after this brief summary, these are my questions/concerns:-How landlord/rental property feel about this situation when there is no W-2 income to present?

The deferred maintenance and comparative fewer amenities also cause concern. 

This has me concerned as I have this exact type of deal on the table right now.
