I had just hoped that someone would know some legal maneuvering, where we could put a mechanics lien against his property or similar

@Julie Marquez there isn't really a mechanical difference caused by having tenants. 

MEP Systems (mechanical, electrical & plumbing)The kitchen and bathroom plumbing is assumed to be included in the Kitchen & Bathroom allowances above. 

I use technology to help with auto responders and the like.

If this is a flip and you don't pay him, what are your plans if he puts a mechanic's lien on your property and you can't sell it until it's resolved? 

You get a Realtor to put you on a daily auto email for certain kinds of properties you want at below 70% of the average price/sq ft for the area or listings with certain motivated seller keywords.

Don’t get me wrong, the way you’re learning to run the numbers is great, that’s an important part of the process, but you also need to learn as much as you can about local markets, building construction/condition/mechanical systems, and property management/actually running a property in order to be able to assess the overall quality of a property to know if it’s a buy or a money pit.

Can you "shop" for HELOC's in the same way that you would shop for an auto loan?

Also, does this impact EZ Demo, EZ Electrical, EZ Mechanical, etc.?

Also I would love that MLS access to get those auto emails going.Further, I need guidance on factoring in the “correct” numbers when analyzing properties to get those home run numbers.
