In a perfect world, your primary would be paid off and the only HELOC on it would be for peronsal emergency issues - job loss, medical, etc.Recommend you find a lender that finances rentals, get a refinance going, then watch mortgage rates for the next dip to lock in a decent rate and close.

Ohio state has a research facility that is already printing these every day but the technology is too expensive right now. at some point maybe but stick frame is much cheaper than concrete. you still need a few techs on site the entire time when these are running. here is an article about ohio state doing this: https://cdme.osu.edu/news/2023/01/collaborative-partnership-...I pay attention to emerging technologies but this is far from perfect.

On a good month of sales I can save 20k+ but on a bad month maybe only like 5kI have 101k saved in the account but I’m hesitant to plunge it all into my first deal, so that’s how I came up with 50k was using half, so that I have some easily accessible cash in reserves for living expenses, emergencies, etc. 

Similar to what's recommended for a personal emergency fund.

I have good credit (730+) and solid income.I am currently lined up for a conventional loan with ~15% down, 6.5% rate, and low closing costs but this would use up most of my liquid cash (minus emergency fund).

This money I specifically allocate to different personal funds....emergency fund, Pool fund, Porsche fund, vacation fund, ect...I then buy a rental property for 100,000.

Having cleaners is great, but there will still need to be “boots on the ground” people for town inspections, repairs, responding to guest emergencies, taking out trash, etc.

Assuming you do buy and generate $100-$200 a month in cash flow, will you still have funds left over after the down payment for emergency costs without having to rely on the $100-$200 that will come in?
