But, this has absolutely nothing to do with living out of a line of credit rather than a checking account.Even not counting the opportunity cost credit given in the analysis for the “reserve” theoretical investment, the additional nickel and dime fees associated with the HELOC will eat up any savings.Perhaps you became much more vigilant at controlling expenses when you decided to use the HELOC to pay your everyday bills.

Hey @Thanh Lu, so if you only have a couple of units, then self management isn't that hard.The key to doing it right is setting it up properly and keeping up on maintenance.I can count the number of late night calls from guests on one hand.

It’s now estimated that Texas has 31.29 million residents, up from the 2020 count of 29.15 million.But Texas also ranked as the top state in the nation for domestic migration and natural increases over the past year.

This information is then linked in the database—think of techniques like pulling signatures from mortgage documents and extracting unit counts/construction types from building permits.This allows you to search my name and instantly see all of the rental properties and construction projects I own, even though they are well covered by holding companies.

I definitely need to do more analysis in terms of comparing against other rentas in the area and ideal beds and heads count. 

My profits now are 19k/month (not counting vacancies or things breaking).

You need your house rules to say no more than XYZ people, and no guests count over the number in the listing between 10:00 PM-6:00am or something similar.

They have vendors that count on their business as a large portion of their business.

Sorry, it is not simple.Also, not just any "business-related" hours count.

I have to agree with @Steve Vaughan, I'd say the same but I'm not licensed either.There was a time not far in the past when I would wish I could just bring cash in a cardboard box with me to a negotiation, just count it up and pile it on the hood of the seller's car until we agreed on a price.
