Hi Lianne, did you close on the property ?  

Most margin loans and SBLOC are Prime + or FFR +, and the ones Im familiar with are 8-13% right now.The only other thing I can think of is that if you're a HNW with a good relationship with your private banking team, maybe theyll give your a personal line based on your net worth and assets with them.  

So.. can investors still acquire a lucrative vacation rental on the Oregon Coast?

There will always be settling going on.

Those on other sources of government cash such as disability often may qualify due to overall household income. 

If it would concentrate on rent collection only and do it well, it might be okay.

On the other hand, you had best know what you are doing because you are putting in larger chunks of money.I agree with your comments on climate change and I am bullish on the Midwest, particularly the Great Lakes area. 

We talked about opening the meetups to the general public, and not just BP members to get more people. let me know what topics you'd like to get more expertise on, and I'll line up some people to come so we can pick their brains.

I have also been doing quite a bit of research on Loan's, tax consequences etc., and am working towards being a expert in this niche.  

Use your skills to network with local investors and professionals by attending meetups in the Conroe and Houston area, joining online forums, and connecting with property managers or realtors.
