You can find out nightly rates, occupancy and amenities.

It's how I've maintained a perfect bond rating and managed my business with the CSLB>I've read many of your posts and am aware that you feel that you can decide when you want a permit or not  I would word it differently.  

The amount of equity I call pull is less than the cash I have but not significantly less.When doing this analysis it struck me that it may not be worth using a HELOC for the simple fact that the interest rate is ~9%* while the funds in my high yield account are only yielding ~5%*.

I'd underwrite the property, with that low interest rate assumable mortgage, to cash flow positively from day 1 as a long-term rental, but be willing and able to use the rent by the room strategy or to rent out part of the property as a Short Term Rental to dramatically increase cash flow during my occupancy. 

First thing I'd do is check comps to get an idea of the demand and rates you can charge for your condo as a MTR.

They build, you do a standard FHA mortgage at closing once the home is completed. 

We had to save up the 5% to get our first place with an 80/15 first and second mortgage.  

I looked at the rental trend over the past 10 years, I should be fine in year 7 for the refinance unless rates are totally out of this world.Your right those rents would be really low for Stamford. 

This is because the dwindling cash flow due to the increased rates has resulted in higher cap rates.  

The interest rate on a HELOC or Heloan may be better than the personal loan.
