I am perfectly fine holding X amount in real estate.If I do see an opportunity another option is to lock it up and sell one of my existing if I think this property will perform or appreciate significantly more.

I shopped across 15 different institutions for my personal HELOC and they seemed to have the best terms out there.

I look forward to seeing how this property performs compared to the properties in AR.

Lots of great FREE resources on The Short Term Shop social media and website as well!
