During the slow season, do you personally focus on getting more rentals, focus more on family/personal life, or do you do something else?

My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

HELOCs are generally provided to properties that are held in the owner's personal name.Are your family members not interested in refinancing the property?

What appears to be great "curb appeal" to one person might be overwhelming to another. 

Insurance liability, I personally know 2 families that lost their children in home pools.

While Facebook Marketplace isn't the sketchiest site (craigslist), I personally would never give my ID across it.

Personally, my strategy (in the midwest) has changed over the past few years and BRRRR hasn't been the go-to approach as much.

Haven’t used it personally but a good friend of mine who self manages around 20 doors uses it and swears by it. 

It might because they don't want any random person just setup a property management software to make it look legit and using it to scam people (tenants)

I have other HELOCs that were much easier to get both personally and professionally.
