There's tons of options and even free options for landlords. 95+% of ours pay online and we have 3 tenants that drop payments off at our office.

I am sure I will be very publicly wrong, and you all can make fun of me in two years, when stocks double and real estate prices crash 20% from here, but I just don't know how you can watch this industry, this closely, for this long, and not be raring to go in the current environment. 

Right now, I’m seeing rents starting to go back up, insurance costs dropping, and even taxes flattening out.

A note failing after two months is a pretty rare event Aloha is a very experienced lender. 

In my opinion that is rarely necessary for a rental rehab unless perhaps this will be a really nice rental in an upscale area.

The price dropped further.

So all in all, the investment seems solid to me, and this is not my first rodeo, as they say.As for the risks associated with the SBLOC, I minimize those by only utilizing a portion of the LOC so that even if the market drops another, lets say 30%, the risk of margin call is slim.

Many benefits to doing so. 2) If you are going to invest outside your area, the one thing I rarely see mentioned here is simply the "investment landscape".

With a STR you have to drop everything to deal with anything that may arise.
