Already have my next property lined up, and need to sell this one.

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)A HELOC provides a revolving line of credit based on your property's equity.

For example, if I qualify for a $150K HELOC, should I go ahead and open the full $150K line and simply draw what I need (e.g., $60K)?

With rates the way they are, and our equity position today v what it will be in 3/5/10yrs...I think the plan is always to cash out refi down the line while holding property. 

Raising rent can feel like walking a tightrope: you want to protect your bottom line, but you also don’t want to push away a great tenant or run afoul of California’s ever-evolving rental laws.So, when is the right time to raise rent?

With 10 receipts a week, that's a few hours of tedious data entry.We've been successfully using AI to scan receipts and automatically itemize line items, then categorize costs correctly.

.- AC in my unit that we lived in went out twice while there in year 1, maybe year 2, spent about $800 to have it pressure tested (lesson learned here most home warranty companies are garbage and do not cover testing your HVAC so idk how you trouble shoot it without testing it, but the testing and refrigerant are not generally included) chased a leak for a month and ended up having them replace the line-set to the system for $1400.- AC in the other unit went out a year or two after that, was not a big issue, just needed one of those jump starter things, and some refrigerant, but was about a $800 fix to get it done on a weekend.- Roof vents were not secured correctly, so that lead to a leak into one unit when it shifted, was about $750 to get the vents secured and have additional ones added to bring it up to proper number.- Still need to get the gutters done, they need cleaned and one of them doesn't drain as it should.- Main water line and entire meter popped off the main supply line and had an unimpeded 1" water line dumping into the basement on mother's day, was about $1400 to fix, and basically an afternoon of waiting around for city and fire dept to turn on/off water at curb. 

If I tried that here I would probably lose 75% of my showings, and that would probably ensnare most of the people that eventually became my tenants.We price to market and have a decent number of showings, and just accept that showing it to some people who aren't going to cross the finish line is part of the process. 

I will clear and grade the remainder of the land, run a road, water lines, and install septic tanks on each lot.

In that time period, there were far more buyers (the blue line) looking to buy than homes for sale (the green line).
