Any suggestions or advise on HELOC’s are greatly appreciated as well. 

The inspector for the buyers stated "this is a nice house" "done really well".

At some point if you're doing well, maybe turn the first one into STR or LTR, and do it again.   

I would also join every FB group for investors, from local to California, and post the package there as well.

Check Furnished Finder, Zillow, as well as AirBnb and VRBO (30+ day stays) to see what sort of competition is in that specific market.

Could you do a cash out refinance of that property and rent it as well, or are you planning on selling? 

@Rene Hosman As a property manager with 20 years experience and a portfolio of 1,000+ single family homes, I can say concessions like reduced rent rarely work well for smaller landlords.

Only if it looks well off from otherwise projections would I worry something like hotel listings might be throwing it off

Are any of the accountants you have looking proactively for tax planning opportunities as well?

Flipping works well if you’ve got solid contractor connections, while rentals (like single-family homes) can be great with a BRRRR approach.
