I would love to try this strategy and provide beautiful and safe accommodations to nurses and other health personnel as well as be able to enjoy the property a couple of times a year when visiting the area.

Using it like long-term debt can be bad for your financial health.First, the HELOC impacts your DTI the moment is created, not the moment you draw down on it. 

For the moment being able to remove stress is the priority.

Not super interested in STRs at the moment, since I think I would have a hard time keeping up with the management. 

I bid $10 over and there's silence for a moment.

I want to be able to send and receive customized docs and signatures in a secure and simple way for remote onboarding of tenants without ever having to wait for the mail or printing out multiple copies again.Currently using Baselane for banking, rent collection, and bookkeeping but it falls short on the tenant record features at the moment. 

That's the beautiful thing about tech and automation.It can take some time to set up and integrate and implement processes.But once done properly, you can scale quicker and easier and not be worried to take on a book of 189 units per se when the opportunity presents itself.I reverse engineered "scale" within our company and focused on systems and optimizing.Now it's time to monetize 🙏Getting very close to being able to throw gasoline on the fire for scale.We could scale easier in another market but to be honest, not in the mood of being like some of the other nation wide PM's where they do M&A nationwide.Plus, I'm "semi-retired" and prefer to keep it that way hahaThere are limits to growth in our local market but it's not necessary a bad thing.Cheers mate

I believe all of the 10 or so units are all rented out at the moment. 

Also, all foreclosures cannot be inspected, I read some can be inspected, however, if it; 's a cosmetic problem I have no problem buying it in, as I am looking to invest in the DFW market at the moment. 

I hope this helps, it can be a great market and we live in a beautiful place, we just have a lot more competition now!
