It’s paid off, I would “like” to leave it that way & maximize the cash flow while paying down the heloc between the rental & other income.  

Quote from @JooYung Choi: You could consider going for a STR in a vacation market that will give you way more cash flow to pay off the HELOC quicker.

Someone told me I’m crazy since they still always pay. 

Your paying $180 for nothing for now.

Usually MTR comes fully furnished with utilities included, so you pay for the convenience.if the area has traveling nurses, other professionals that come for a few months for work they normally pay more, in certain cases the employer pays the rent not familiar with that particular market,  but worth looking into it.

You will report worldwide income on your federal and Kansas tax returns.You will also include the MO activity on your KS return.Your MO return will only include the acitivity within that state, which in this case, is the rental property.In the future, if you have income in MO(either through the sale of the property or through rental income), you will pay tax to MO but KS will give you a credit for any taxes you pay to MO.best of luck

And if the buyer defaults and stops paying, then you just foreclose on them just as any bank would foreclose on a buyer who stops paying.

If you do have a TX LLC just to hold a TX property, you still have to register in CA as a foreign LLC, which still means paying the CA LLC tax.
