Quote from @Nathan Gesner: There were a couple experienced investors on the forums that loved to tell everyone they could manage a short-term rental in just five minutes a week. 

What are some terms that would appeal to an investor?

I think there's a path to refinance that would flip me into positive cash flow, but I'm coming up short on ideas. 

I have three listings, 1. unit with a pool and hot tub, 2. unit with a hot tub, 3. both units together as a 12 sleeper.Gross monthly income (after booking channel fees) for the first unit over a 7 month period was $7309.Gross monthly income for both units over a 14 month period is $11,297 (after booking channel fees) As a long term rental the combined rent would be in the region of $5500.Is it possible to sell the property based on the income generated by the STR business or would the value always be based on bricks and mortar comps? 

To markets where you’ll gain long term tax free wealth. 

My plan is to set up a syndication fund with Canadian (and U.S) investors to purchase short-term rental properties in the Puerto Vallarta and Rivera Nayarit area (which is booming).

Every dollar that they short change a host for a repair is a dollar in their pocket. 

Of the many strategies I've looked into, House-hacking and short-term rentals piqued my interests. 

The six month cd isn’t the point my understanding is that I can’t just take out the HELOC, I need to actually use the money for my plan to work and a short term CD seemed safe and reasonable
