I never use fixed rate mortgages, but even if one does, taking out an amount on a HELoC at prime (2.7%) to prime + 0.5 (3.2%) {the rate spread on most HeLoCs here) to pre-pay a fixed-rate mortgage at 2.6% (5-year term) would be at best a wash (unless rates were moving).What makes it work in the U.S.A.? 

I just extended my lease to a 2 year lease because of this success and fully believe that this airbnb will continue to do well.The newly onboarded airbnb:So the new airbnb had a little bit of a rough start, the laundry machine had to be replaced as it stopped working whilst I was testing things out in the home, I had a bit of a higher cost setting up the airbnb, (painted and filled in cracks that were previously present) but to be honest I spent around the same I would have spent if I had to fully furnish the home.

Finding a place within 5-10 minutes of Barnes, STLCOP, Wash U, etc seems to be a great idea.

Somebody I know bought a car wash syndicate and lost money.  

(Which is just a hallway/ staircase plus the basement where the laundry is as it is a 3-story rowhouse walkup; right now there is no HVAC at all - it is a large rehab project.)5) Are there any discounts for leasing fees usually if the agent is leasing multiple units?

There are cheaper one’s in D/F areas but I would be careful as those can create a laundry list of additional issues.

I would then make him my renter and kick the can down the road to figure out how to gift it to him.It seems as if the 1031 exchange fees might be a wash with the taxes?

To be successful selling RE you must be able to Qualify Present and then CLOSE most that wash out cant CLOSE..
