Few properties these days will support a full cash-out, most won't even get a partial cash-out.

I called support explaining the situation, and they said they'd get back to me in 5 - 8 business days as per their standard policy.

This would be my first STR, so I don't have experience finding the right boots on the ground to support the rental (e.g. cleaning, maintenance, re-stocking, etc.)

I’d love to learn from you and see how we can support each other’s success.Looking forward to connecting! 

I'm involved in too many things, but that's what happens when you have a family and kids to support.

Electric was ~$600/month, now offset by a fixed solar lease at $321/month + $25/month to the electric company (history available).Upgrades: Brand-new HVAC system and fairly new appliances throughout.The Catch: I took out a HELOC last year to support my business; current balance is $98K.The Situation:With the HELOC and mortgage combined, I’m underwater on equity, but the low-interest FHA loan and property upgrades might make this appealing for the right investor.

Another resource is the Property Tax Appeal Project, a free service by Street Democracy and the Coalition for Property Tax Justice, which supports Detroit homeowners, especially those with low-value properties, and can be reached at 313-438-8698 or via their online form.That said, be cautious—some companies might push for appeals that aren’t worth the cost if the assessment isn’t significantly off, and Detroit’s recent assessment accuracy has improved (though low-value homes can still be overassessed).

“We have to thank President Trump’s vision and his support,” Wei said.

Looks like decent PM software but again the support is huge for me.
