Hello Riaan, I thinks its a great ideia to schedule a Zoom meeting and discuss ideias and opportunitiesI would like to participate and network with the good people in this forumBest,Mauro Neves 

@Scott L. the issue with the idea of using the 10k to just pay down the principal is that then it's gone and you can never see it again - in a HELOC you can take it back if there is a need for it in the future.The next step on this ideia is that you have a HELOC as your emergency stash, so that you can always access it if there is an emergency, but you don't pay any interest if you don't and you don't have money sitting around in a checking account or under your mattress.

I'm hoping to get more ideias here on finding and assessing realtors who can really help rehabbes with their support.But your advice alerts mento the fact that I need to network more, I really appreciate your help.Many thanks. 

I don’t plan going there anyway, I am talking with lawyers but sometimes I come up with best ideias than them.

@Tim Johnson My ideia is get some cash to buy my next deal .

Fique a vontade para conectar comigo e trocar umas ideias!

I don't really have idea about what is the most tax effective way, but the ideia is to deduct expenses that in an individual person can't, and after that pay the taxes.
