For ideological reasons I'm not personally into Cadre, but I will look into those crowdfunding platforms if my list of syndicators ever starts to seem thin.

Maytag and Whirlpool are good imo.I personally also avoid ice makers and water dispensers.

Finding which of those strategies works best for you, your goals and interests could help you speed up your investment journey while gaining experience, confidence and eventually expertise in your chosen area. 

One year many pipes froze in our city, including one of our rentals and our personal residence. 

Some amenities are crucial and obvious (pots and pans, plates, linens, good Wi-Fi), some are unnecessary and obviously so (personal movie theater with arcade game room), but the trickier amenities lie in the 2 middle zones.What are some necessary amenities that you might overlook? 

We purchased an RV last year under our personal names that is primarily used for business travel.

I have real estate agent will consider this person to manage as well not sure yet. 

We are looking to wholesale outside of our chosen market to help build capital for projects within our chosen market (Louisiana) as I have potential deals in other markets and am not confident in how to proceed with them contractually, (don't want to be stuck with a bill I can't handle currently and also want to ensure I'm operating correctly).

Personally, I wouldn't use a heloc to then go purchase a primary residence, unless what you can rent the current SFH for enough to cover the current mortgage (assuming there is one on the property) and the heloc payments.

So rather than just market suddenly for 60 days when a property opens up, you're developing your personal brand all the time.
