The HELOC situation can be prevented if you maintain ownership of the house along with the loan...  putting clauses in there preventing it.  As far as turning it into a shooting range? No answers there lol... but you'll def have some legal expenses while you try to sue him... best bet would be to buy a house that already has a good amount of equity before you even buy it.
