Seems like they are doing a fantastic job of marketing a product that has amazing potential but isn't fully there. 

Give them money or they lien the house and walk off the job. 

I mean I am looking at my options, I was planing to station myself out there as a trail because my job I  can be remote.

Or check out a job they are on..

Jay, most of the "log" cabins in the Smokies are "log look", which gets the job done.

The only change I have is I'm a little bear-ish on Lubbock overall - its a very linear market that doesn't have a ton of "job pull" like other markets have (tech/aerospace).

Not much industry for decent jobs.

Also, the ability to export reports for partners or lenders would be a plus.Essential Data/Analytics: Reliable rent estimates, cap rates, cash-on-cash return, operating expenses (especially maintenance and CapEx), and local market trends like population growth or job market health are key for decision-making

My best  success seems to come from tenants that go to a job where they work for a company.

The easiest and straight forward option would be, as you said, to sell the current residence, payoff the HELOC (or most of it) and then get back to saving with your jobs and the rental cashflow.
