Flips have done good not great, Air Bnbs are going good not great, and rentals all were brrrr'd perfectly but like most cash flow just enough to pay the bills and cover expenses.

If a landlord plans to hold the property for a while, we always recommend an annual lease, ending to align with the summer leading lesson, or staggered with their other leases depending on the situation.  

I assume your wish to use a HELOC is to avoid paying interest when you are not actively rehabbing a BRRRR.

You also only pay interest on the amount you use.

I immediately called Financial Freedom they explained that the $200 was for their "pay -site" which includes a free weekly conference call, etc.

I am just starting out with a STR and found that VRBO is not very specific if they are collecting the tax and paying it to the State as a marketplace facilitator or am I responsible for this tax collection and payment ?

It really delays my entire plans.

In fact, come to the USA and live off of those of us who pay taxes.  

Sadly, the joint venture property deal has not gone exactly according to plan.

You’re building a thoughtful plan that’s set up for success.
