Conversely, with a Heloc there is added pressure to ensure you are getting a deal if your goal is to pay that down asap or recycle your capital.

It was about $600 in permits, $800 in utility kill (assuming you're going to rebuild there and Class A street work is completed in your rebuild), and $12000 in labor and dump fees.This was for raised foundation (cheaper than slab), no garage, very accessible lot for working space, urban location (less hauling distance), and taking advantage of recycling credits for C&D waste. 

I've used Lakeshore Recycling in the past, just off I-55 and California.

Intel is a great example, who is building the largest chip manufacturing plant in the US right here, and it will be a $20 billion dollar investment that brings a few new thousand jobs.https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2022/01/21/intel-ohio-building-computer-chip-factories-licking-county-jersey-township/9173472002/Another example of economic growth is the upcoming Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Inpatient Hospital which is a 1.9million square foot hospital that will bring over 800 new beds and a thousand new jobs.https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/new-osu-hospital-expected-to-transform-health-careHere are a few more recent investmentshttps://www.10tv.com/article/money/business/hydrogen-power-company-hyperion-bringing-700-jobs-to-columbus/530-25907aab-5517-4661-a9f3-d2ed2d5be6b0https://news.wosu.org/news/2022-02-08/rumpke-to-build-50-million-recycling-facility-in-columbusLet me know how I can help! 

Could be naive/rookie of me to think this way but we were thinking create leverage by buying the property in cash, then pulling $ out of it to basically recycle that into another similar investment - repeat that process - lease option to own with all the renters and sell before capex is due? 

So most will bandaid the property and keep milking it, until you can no more.There is an economic floor, below which the long term buy and hold model does not work anymore, and you want to be mindful of that. 

STR is not a strategy that allows one to recycle their capital like the BRRRR strategy but the income can be well worth your time.

Brother A has been getting deals once a month, that first month I used recycled leads.

That was our original plan of turning our current home into a rental since we have such a low payment compared to the rent we would receive, the issue is then moving into the next place that will also cash flow after a couple years when we decide to try and recycle the HELOC.

Other than that, works like a charm and a good way to recycle your capital quickly.
