Well you can probably get around $70k out of your $300k property on a HELOC.

And the favor is please mark me in your system as do not call.My wife has started doing the same and it works for her as well. 

Personally I prefer single family homes around that median price because that's where the most demand will be not only for owner occupants but renters as well.

You can refinance into a FHA 203k or like @Jason Wray mentioned you could even use a Fannie May homestyle renovation loan as well!  

We have sold (tax free), kept as long term and/or short term rentals as well.

If you have a lot of family in OK, that can be a great place to start assessing since you have dedicated boots on the ground, as well as a reason to visit.Don't overthink the analyzing of markets when you are still figuring things out.

I did hundreds of them .. then the crash happened and well things in the BRRR world stalled and then of course the new buy and BP coined the term like it was something new.. but its old old school for sure. 

You get an operation running well and then you can be benevolent.  

Well, STR can work well for people who own a vacation house for personal use, and just want to generate some extra income when not in use.  

Well, the latest "clarification" of the vague memo is that "rental assistance programs" are exempt from the pause - so I am expecting payments to arrive as usual.
