You do have to be able to front the cash prior to each draw, but other than that they've been good to work with 

While Reonomy is not comparable as it's for commercial properties, Propstream is. 

Document the time you spent on the property compared to others, especially if you’re trying to qualify under the “100 hours and more than anyone else” test.

Case and point today we spent 6 hours onboarding a new house in Kissimmee (outside orlando) whose prior cleaners did not care.  

Compare that to a business/company.

But there are also some real challenges, like dealing with lower tenant quality on average, the extra red tape, annual inspections, and the longer time it takes to get tenants placed compared to the open market.

Ironically, platforms designed for real estate (Zillow, Apartments.com, Rentler, etc.) produce very few tenants for me, compared to FB Marketplace (and I also find a lot of their functionality to be user un-friendly, from the landlord side). ...you'd think that platforms custom-made for real estate would make the process a snap for landlords, but it takes me a lot longer to post and manage rental listings on Zillow or Rentler than it did on Craigslist.

A HELOC gives you flexibility since you can draw as needed and only pay interest on the amount you use, which might be useful if you’re not sure exactly how much you’ll need upfront.That said, it’s important to compare the interest rates between a HELOC and your expected returns in the stock market—if you’re making more in your investments than you’d pay in interest, it could be a good play. 

I've collect their photo ID, contact information, and I've been asking all guest to obtain COI from all confirmed bookings prior to their arrival.
