But don't let them know it.It amazes me how many of our members at MassRealEstate dot net have an Asset worth $300-500k Rent it for .5-1% of value and hardly pay attention to it, yet chase a tenth of a percent in CD rates;-)

HELOCs are interest only hence on that $200K, it was a monthly interest rate of $1,200.

From fluctuating interest rates to evolving buyer demand, navigating today’s market requires flexibility and strategy.Are you seeing more opportunities in flips, rentals, or commercial properties?

This $100,000 would be taxed at the applicable capital gains tax rate (0%–20% federally, depending on income) and subject to depreciation recapture at a maximum rate of 25%.

You have to factor in demand and vacancy rates to determine if it will be more profitable, and that’s specific for each market.

If it's currently an STR they should be able to provide you with the p/l statement from prior years so you can see gross rents, operating expenses, average daily rates and occupancy levels.

If you do have to move because of a job, you would be safest (in my opinion, i am not giving legal advice or financial advice), i would sell that property to ensure that you did not just purchase with the goal of moving out early and taking advantage of lower rates and lower down payments for purchasing your home as a primary residence. 

Of the conversations I have had with people discussing hard money lending, some seemed opinionated in that the high interest rates and terms were enough to scare them off.

It’s all about what will draw guests in and make them choose your listing over others.2️⃣ Standout Amenities: Rentals that offer something extra, like a hot tub, game room, or eye-catching design, often attract more bookings and higher rates.

Success rate.
