While your condo snowball strategy builds equity, modest cash flow and HOA fees may limit returns.

You will also likely be paying more than more experienced investors as you build your team and knowledge.

Think that is very true because end of the day you are building a relationship with them and teaming up.

What Brand and color paint would you guys suggest?

That will allow you to build the additional legal space further amplifying the value of the proprety (more HELOC money). 

@Ketch BaysStarting small in a cash-flowing market is a smart way to gain experience and build confidence without overextending yourself financially.

I feel like this gives me an instant screenshot of every expense for each building so I know Building A paid $1800 for insurance, Building B paid $2100 for insurance and Building C paid $2400 for insurance as opposed to having one account and seeing Insurance was $6300.

It's actually the best strategy in the Nashville area if you can build an HPR yourself and own both, STR the other side. 

I was on island earlier in the month for an eviction trial and stayed at the Waikiki Banyan for a few nights - that seems to be a popular STR building.
