I am newly married and have a hefty mortgage myself, but I manage to save a decent amount of money realistically 10-15k a year I have been working as a construction worker as long as I have been working I am a mason by trade and even though moneys tight I know I will be a successful investor even in the current market.

Allocate equity based on contributions: you provide the $235K HELOC and management, while your former boss contributes renovation expertise and labor.

Tenant stopped paying rent before 2 months of the lease expiring, property manager filed for eviction process but tenant vacated the property before sheriff served the notice.

Very good resource for getting set up with STR property managers, cleaning services, realtors, lenders, etc. https://www.getchalet.com/

Additionally, I'm working with the RE Ally Property management team, who was able to find a tenant to rent at slightly above market rates without any vacancy.

I love the fact that I don’t have to manage the property as with rentals and can invest from anywhere.

I used it to list my properties, screen tenants, manage payments, send notifications, manage maintenance.

No syndication experience but there are about a dozen quality RV/Mobile home parks on market in Oregon, several with owner carry options that can be passiv-ish with management in place.

I have a bachelors in Construction Managements and run substation electrical jobs for a living while my wife is a stay at home mom with the kids.

There is also ease of management in having a handful of tradespeople that can deal with all my properties.
