I've you've already used $315k, you have $451,550 left.https://www.veteransunited.com/education/tools/va-loan-limit...Even though $515k>$451k, You CAN still use your VA loan on this duplex (and I highly recommend it).

@Estevan Benavides Lets say that ROI on a syndication deal does outpace the HELOC rate, my question is what do you prefer to go with since HELOC vs SDIRA are two very different tools when it comes pulling capital from.With HELOC, you borrow against your HELOC credit, pay the interest while you are in the syndication and eventually pay the borrowed amount back.

For example, 200 miles one way (guess) x $0.67 IRS mileage rate x 2 = $268 estimated vehicle cost per round trip, which is per guest stay.I'm using a calculator that factors in management costs (cleaning, hot tub maintenance, CapEX, OTA service fees, supplies, refunds, utilities, landscaping and internet) - it does NOT include marketing/tech tools like Lodgify, Guesty etc. so good flag. 

I suggest using BiggerPockets' "Find a Lender" tool to find a reputable hard money lender. 

DSCR loans are great tools IF you cannot qualify any other way.

Any tools or methods you recommend for better efficiency and transparency?

Hello BiggerPockets community,I've been searching the internet lately, sifting through a multitude of deal analysis tools, Excel templates, proformas, and DCFs, all aimed at deciphering the viability of multifamily properties.

By systems I'm talking CRM: a way for you to manage your sales pipeline, moving new, organic leads from clickers to renters and past guests from one-time to recurring. 3.

The bookkeeper that you hire must specialise in STR's/Vacation rentals bookkeeping and should be on-board with all the tools and requirements you have.

So let me add some color to what the AI tool in particular does for me.
