I'm looking to connect with wholesalers in the Las Vegas area.Feel free to message me directly.

Quote from @Brady Ascheman: Let's talk about this directly as a business decision.

Agreed- with a long term rental you can be very clear and upfront about all the nuances/quirks of the property and what is included because the transaction has far more direct communication.

I will look into Short term Sage, thank you so much for the kind words and the point in the right direction!

I've also heard about rolling over some money into a self directed IRA to invest in real estate, but that doesn't really solve my problem. 

It's written into the lease that tenants must deposit their rents into that particular account (either by online bank transfer or by walking in a check/cash); I do not collect rents directly, nor would I if anyone asked.

My favorite way is is simply using Pricelabs using a comp set, OR using Airbnb itself to see what your direct competition is.

If you can get your direct deposit moved against your heloc right away, and then you do not have to pay bills instantly, you are leaving your idol funds offsetting a 7.5-8.5% interest rate.

I understand it depends on the deal, but just wondering if this is the right direction to consider. 

I wondered about using your own vendors, here's what I found:"Currently, you cannot directly add your own contractors to Lula's network.
