Put excess fund into a self directed variable annuity.6.

My concern with FL real estate is that if something doesn't change soon, most property will be uninsurable except through excess lines and there is very limited accountability/oversight as to whether or not these over seas insurance agencies even have the funds for payouts. 

So, any excess effort in dealing with it is likely wasted as it won't be recovered from the tenant.

For a foreign investor, the red tape for a traditional mortgage can be excessive - to say the least. 

California charges a minimum tax of $800 a year per LLC, and more if you have gross receipts in excess of $250k.

We only pay the cleaner extra if there was excessive cleaning while a pet was at the property.

We will always have desirable locations that have more demand than supply and the excess supply will go somewhere.

Think the puck stops with you trying to be some form of leader on here.Self proclaimed "Zen" of Real Estate, give me a fat ****ing break. 

Unless your Heloc rate is well over 9%, youre better off just applying your excess cashflow toward paying down the Heloc balance, which will immediately reduce the interest that accrues the following month.

I expect turn over will be in excess of $5k.
