After just over a year I purchased a second property and moved into it, turning this property into my first true rental property!

@Karl B.Very true

So, the bit about the sellers agent being able to hide things is not true. 

Do a little research in this area if you're not familiar, core CPI doesn't really show true inflation in my opinion.

You can't create a scaled wholesale operation by driving for dollars, using "true people search" and calling with your cellphone.

It's true!

However, in most cases, if this is a true tax Foreclosure/judicial sale, then the HELOC will be wiped out. 

It's true that you would be able to sell very quickly right now, but also true that you will be able to sell for more in 5 years. 

Investing passively or actively, is really about time, experience, capital, passion, location and risk tolerance.

I believe this even holds true in Louisiana which does have some legal framework from it's French origins which differ from the other States.As far as the MTM and non renewal...a clarification...there is an eviction moratorium, not a lease termination moratorium.
