Will definitely be in touch with some questions as we get closer to closing and rehabbing the property!

It would depend the full situation, but I'd pursue the equity line before I touched my first at 3.625%. 

The suburbs have a number of good PM companies, but due to the low price points and rents, and the nightmare of dealing with the city and courts there, most of the good property managers in the general area won't touch Baltimore.

I don't think RE returns are going to touch that.

.- You close on December 10th- The property is in great shape and does not need any significant repairs- It only needs some paint touch-up and changing a couple of broken fixtures, which you do yourself- You spend the next week buying furniture, electronics and supplies and installing/arranging everything yourself- You also roll up your sleeves and scrub the toilets and sinks and appliances- You put it on AirBnB/VRBO and have your first guest renting it for the 3 days of Christmas- You second guest rents it for the following weekend and leaves before NYE- You personally clean and restock the place between these two guestsCongrats!

Get in touch with a real estate agent locally, and see what you can actually rent it out for right now.

I will 1000% be reaching out to you, sending you the college request right now so we can stay In touch!

Obviously, I learned the hard way...but picked up a ton of valuable advice along the way especially from @Jay Hinrichs Hinrichs Hinrichs.But, to your point I only touch B Class now.

A really nice home with some extra touches (a little granite, better flooring, nicer paint job, nicer cabinets, etc.) compared to the area will make potential tenants fall in love with the place.  2) Tenants that bring or can swing their own appliances are more financially stable (or just stable in general, ha!)

I also have investments in Kasa Ceiba and their Caribbean fund, would love to touch base to see how your properties are doing.
