Again, I don't mean to come off as a di*k head lol. this is a genuine question@Robert Westenberger House Hacking generally is a smart way and almost risk-free way for anyone to start real estate investing.

And also, I see many LLs simply offer several months of free rent in lieu of TI if it's a tenant that fits.  

I'd compare the blended rate with how much you could get with a refinance otherwise and tell you whether it's a better idea to go with a full refinance or the HELOC route.Feel free to PM me if you don't want to share this information on the public forum.

This way, you’d preserve more of your HELOC for future deals or emergencies.Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss DSCR options, or if you're thinking about hard money for any upcoming projects.

@Andre Jones Hey, feel free to DM me I'll share a few references, 

Lol, the tenants stay for a year+, rent free, and then completely destroy your property on the way out.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

It is on a 13 acre parcel that I own free and clear. 

There is a free website that I use to find the estimated short term rent based on Airbnb data.The same information you can get from airdna but you need to pay for that service.

If you dont want to invest in a Lane Guide list, you can also use some of the auction websites (free ones) or Foreclosure Radar they often will have lender info associated with the property/listings.
