Quote from @Levi Perl: Hi,Curious if anyone has what to say in terms of how to calculate which one is more worth it: to cash out refi on a Long term rental now at 70% LTV, and walk away with X amount of positive cash AFTER paying all debt, (X is a positive number and significant amount for me), which will allow me to potential get another long term rental and grow portfolio faster, or wait 4 months and cash out 80% LTV, giving me DOUBLE than X. 

Quote from @Stuart Udis: The natural buyer of the entry level SF homes have limited cash and therefore the biggest obstacle they face is funds to close.

The macroeconomics here is booming - the tech sector growth keeps the population and job market growing and rental demand strong.

While it’s not impossible to close in mid December and still meet all requirements of the STR loophole, it will be extremely difficult due to the nature of hitting 150 hours, having it rented for 15 days or greater and having the avg stay be no greater than 7 days and not a decimal more.

The economy is rapidly growing so we see both cash flow and appreciation potential here.

I just upgraded from the free trial to full sub of rentalhero.io to manage 7 properties with room to grow.

How would you make it grow the quickest?

I've done some expensive real estate investment training programs in the 1990's and early 2000's that a lot of people complained about, (or even asked for refunds on) yet each time I did these trainings, I learned new skills and strategies that helped me grow my real estate investment business.  

Sacramento is a growing market and there's a lot of need for more meet-ups and opportunities to collaborate and learn from one another.
