Quote from @Mike Pepperday: Does anyone know, or have experience with tiny home short term rentals in the western New York area?

Hey everyone,For those in the real estate game, how do you track your property expenses, labor, and other details during the renovation process, especially when managing multiple properties simultaneously (e.g., 3-5 houses)?

I’ve considered mid and short term rentals, but from what I’ve seen, Baltimore city unfortunately does not allow new short term rentals unless the property is owner occupied. 

Personally I only use my HELOC on short term projects like flips, new builds and BRRRRs where I know I will be replacing the capital within months.You may be better off waiting a year and save up more cash or liquidate your index funds if the returns on a property will be better.

but generally - new accounting and property tracking softwares fall short in one of two places: 1) they don't actually generate financial statements that a CPA or Lender will approve, or 2) They can, but the learning curve is so steep or convoluted it's impossible for you to get help if/when you need it (I imagine this is why this thread is a little slow right now)Have you asked your accountant what they think will work best?

Build an SMB on top of your real estate (the reverse of #2)Short-term rentals and high owner-participation real estate businesses can have great returns.Obviously not for you if you just want passive RE.We are in the deep end here, where each case should be judged on its own facts and merits by your CPA.You should hire a professional to review your particular situation before you make an investment.

ThanksI bet that's a good short term rental market!

You can do a trial and see if bank feeds connect, if it does, I would then recommend using it over QBO.One of my client that just started in development is short on funds so Xero was the only best option and they are using a local bank so we couldn't connect and a lot of manual entries. 

Credit scores are a reflection of someone's ability to learning and understanding the rules of the game and haveing the discipline to play by them.If you already have good credit, already pay everything on time (autopay), then increaseing your limits will probably help you the most, because it gets your utilization down, ideally under 10%.Higher hanging fruits are average credit and account age (just have to wait for that I guess) and inquiries, which are sometimes unavoidable as real estate investors.  

Depends on really what you are looking for:-Speed - some HMLS can go "no appraisal" so can close very quickly and beat cash offers if you are in a competitive market to buy-Interest Rates - can range anywhere from around 8% to 13% (same with "points") but not usually as huge of a concern for flippers since the terms are so short-Leverage - depending on your risk appetite / capital - this is also a top concern for some (almost always over and above rates/fees) can see anywhere from around 80% LTC to even mid 90s LTC (including 100% of rehab budget)
