I'm considering investing in STR in Hawaii to diversify my investment portfolio (mainly for capital appreciation) as well as it being a regular vacation place for my family.

I've been doing investment real estate for many years and the biggest way to get started is finding a commercial real estate market you can afford as the biggest hurdle.

The main house will be house hacked for the first year and will turn into a co-living.   

I think the main thing I am learning here is to adjust the profit share between myself and my private money partners.

If so and the monthly payment isn't too bad then you're still moving the needle forward if your main goal is wealth generation and not just cash flow. 

Main goal of All In One heloc or 1st Lien Position Heloc:  Lower your daily average balance.Main Drawback: Rates are substantially higher than 60% of current 1st mortgage balances.If you are mostly living paycheck to paycheck and your money leaves your account as soon as it comes in to pay bills, this is not for you. 

The main reason is that it is not initially set up for a Real Estate business like other “real estate-specific” accounting software.

Look for mixed-use properties with a Main Street vibe or location.

Granted we only have 17 but still, I’ve never used anything except a simple excel spreadsheet and all my rental properties have a separate savings account under my main account at my local bank.

This is one of the main reasons that HUD deals fail to close.
