We are seeing more and more horror stories pop up from folks losing their investments after pooring them into trash syndicate deals, or buying in C/D grade areas out of state because a YT video or message board post gave them FOMO.

not to be a debbie downer but I would not use my primary residence for a heloc and then invest out of state.. especially a C or D class property.. too much risk in my mind  also keep in mind Heloc's can be called or frozen thereby putting you in default and you wont know it until after the fact they are not fully amortized loans.

These "hipsters" are young college grads who will live in areas that are (A) relatively inexpensive, (B) low or trending down in crime, (C) close to attractive civic amenities, and (D) are close enough to jobs. 

That is one of my worries of going into a class C or lower area.

Also I agree with @Victoria C. about the STRs.

Quote from @Chad C.: But how do I access the funds or profit of LLC for personals use without "commingle business and personal funds" You maintain two accounts, one business and one personal.

Tell us more about what you got @Mike C.

Quote from @Evan Hopple: @Ryan LouzThe cashflow deals are mainly C location 1-4 unit properties. 

Being so, there are some very nice areas, as well as some C/D class neighborhoods.
