You’re in a solid position, but the challenge here is that your equity is tied up in a property that’s cash flow neutral—which means pulling cash out could push it into negative territory if you’re not careful.A HELOC is the most flexible option, even if you’re planning for long-term investments.

I am responding as a consumer not a STR owner we had one its lasted for us for exactly one tenant then we felt it was too much work for the return  on investment we do much better loaning money and buidling new homes than to worry about people goofing up our homes :)I do have some MTR you know fully furnished homes in Vegas and those are money makers for us top of the line tneants paying double the going rate for rent.

I've also been thinking of using a HELOC to acquire our next investment property, likely as owner occupied.

I think we will see more "adult" families living together...kids move back in or parents move in with kids.The traditional apartment model was based on 12month leases, but jobs are not always 12 months and people want flexible terms, so co-living often offers that.Seems like younger people between 20-30 and some other age groups don't want to get married and start that housing pathway our parents and grandparents took.
