My husband and I are just getting our toes in the water and planned to use a HELOC for our first investment property.

The water heater?

They dump 6 gallons a flush, but all that water keeps the drains clean.

We own 9 acres in Eastman that has city sewer and water on it.

We don’t want to have it go commercial because that just lessons our buyer pool if we ever go to sell.Absolutely we’re keeping the integrity of the home 100%.  

In the City of Tampa, if a property is being sold and the tenant has failed to pay their water bills, does the seller have to pay the amount owed during closing?

When I was younger I worked at a pool and worked on my bosses rentals on the side. 

You will find a vast pool of knowledge and experience here and there will always be somebody here to opine and share what they have learned here.

Late payment charges, medical expenses, unpaid water/electrical/phone, HELOC's gone awry, etc.
