Most Realtors are not even very good at this to be honest...

Purchase price: $410,000 Cash invested: $50,000 I bought this house as a flip but kept it as a rental.It needed lots of rehab.

My assumption is that this means that in order to raise 50 million as a security, the fee for said shares would be just 7500 dollars.

This means REI look for markets that are specific, not general, and they apply the appropriate strategy to that property to make that deal. 

I don't think enough people consider this aspect.Selling Stock: Selling part of your portfolio could work, but the 15% capital gains tax might make this an expensive choice unless the stock has underperformed or you’re diversifying away from riskier investments.HELOC: Using a HELOC on an existing property is a flexible and relatively low-cost option.

This has prompted me to look into a software to track income and expenses.

Lake side homes are more desirable for short term rentals in this area but not impossible to accomplish.

Here is my $.02:  I don't know where you are located or the size of the parcel of land, but this is what I would do:1.
