I would want to target corporate rentals, travelers, students.

My friend has 3 rental properties there alone and when I asked him about buying more he said if he did buy it would be there.

We not only offered them a better comp package, but we offered them the opportunity to work for people who knew real estate investing as investors, not just as lenders. 

Easy to use yourself too HELOC works (there may be some places that do a HELOCs on rental properties)I personally have used a 401k Loan on a few occasions - You're essentially borrowing money from your 401k and paying yourself back (interest goes back into your 401k as opposed to a bank) and if you don't pay your 401k back the loan would simply become a withdraw (maybe some tax penalties, but you could probably finagle a workaround).

We are looking to move from that, to a rental property, or a self storage property.Hey @Steve Wortman, welcome to the BP Forum!

Great to see you getting into the Southeast rental market.Wishing you the best of luck.

I own a handful or rentals across STR, MTR, and LTR.

If you keep it long enough you don't qualify for the primary exemption (maybe it was too good of a rental to get rid of) it would still qualify for a 1031 exchange.

I’m new to the rental business.

Max of three rental properties.
