I'm ashamed to admit, I ended up eating it a few times.Now I do it differently:Move-in: pics, quick video, checklist, both of us sign off. borderline stuff gets noted.Routine checks: not to snoop, just to catch stuff early and have a time-stamped trail.Move-out: side by side with move-in docs—no gray area anymore.I got so tired of juggling random pics/notes/folders that I finally started building a little mobile app for myself to keep it organized.

Alex, here’s a side-by-side breakdown of the three main paths you’re weighing:OptionStructureMonthly Cost Example*When It Works BestTrade-OffsCash-Out Refi @ 6% Fixed$150K loan, 30-yr amortizing~$900/mo (P&I)Lock in predictable debt, scale now with a lump sumCash flow dip on current rental; if tenants buy soon, you’ve put long-term debt on a property you won’t keepHELOC / Line of Credit @ 8% IO$150K full draw = $1,000/mo, $50K draw = $333/moFlexible: pay only on what you useShort horizon (tenants likely to buy soon); need capital fast for next dealVariable rate risk; banks can reduce or freeze linesHybrid: HELOC + DSCR Loan$50K HELOC down = $333/mo; $150K DSCR loan = $900/moTotal = ~$1,233/moScale into 2 properties: use HELOC as down payment, DSCR finances new rentalSlightly higher combined debt load, but DSCR only qualifies if new property cash flows, so growth is protected*Based on a $200K property value, $150K loan (75% LTV).Key Philosophy:Cash-out refi = certainty.HELOC = flexibility.HELOC + DSCR = growth.That way you’re not just pulling equity — you’re turning it into more doors, which is the whole point of scaling.
