A Heloc is a open end mortgage like a credit card so its an additional trade line on credit, cannto never be used as an Asset, PITI reserve, and its a DTI killer in most cases.A heloc is also usually set up on a shorter term versus a mortgage, carries a Higher interest rate, and most carry a interest only with a prepayment penalty.

Flipping channels on TV and Social media scrolling are thee absolute biggest time killers.

If your STR has a killer cash flow - great, this is how it's meant to be!

Thanks to my W2 career I am comfortable with being house rich, cash poor for now atleast so we will see how this all shakes out 10, 20 years from now.One thing that is true is that property management fees on STRs are an absolute profit killer, and honestly it hurts my soul, but I have to remind myself of the opportunity cost of time saved by doing this, which in-turn allows me to focus on other income generating projects.

If you can get a house with a killer view I think that is what sells the most, second being on water. 

You would pull off the sheetrock, pull the insulation, dry everything out, treat the studs with a mold killer, then put it all back together.

It never hurts to be conservative on the first investment though, so congrats again on making the leap and the killer returns!

It seems the downpayment here for you is a killer and the place won't even cash flow that well?
