Thanks for the response and I appreciate the confidence, Jeff!

As long as you have exit strategies and the property is cash flowing, I would feel confident in utilizing this strategy.  

But I don't want to waste other people's time and would definitely feel a lot more confident overall if I knew that the money was there. 

I will definitely look for my Core 4, that does make sense to be able to invest confidently. 

The answer depends upon where the property is at (local regulations and political headwinds), interest rates, unemployment-employment, household debt levels and consumer confidence, cost of getting there (airfare, gasoline prices, etc), cost of running the STR etc.

I am hoping to like many others build up a good retirement through real estate and are looking for opportunities to learn good practices, soft skills and gain confidence and build repeatable systems that can scale.
