Our primary residents also has some equity, I have a HELOC with $166,000 available funds.

We have a primary home, short-term rentals as well as paper investments. 

Please check out our Product Tours on the dashboard for an overview of the platform.

Quote from @Brendan Jones: For the homes, and or properties that you will use as a primary or a rental property one big thing I look for is infrastructure in the area, extrinsic value (I.e. hospitals in the area, schools, and job market), and the last thing is creature comforts for people (I.e. is a store to get groceries 1 hour away or 2 minutes away).

Houfy is very inexpensive to list on, and syncs with the other platforms, making it a very quick and cheap way to do direct bookings.

All the tax deferral of the 1031 and still using it to purchase your next primary residence as well.

I will try and remember to come back and update what I find out in a week or two of testing out both platforms.

Quote from @Isaac Watson: @Charles Perkins are these meetups on platforms like meetup.com?

BTW - Are you using both platforms?

If you can come in and operate effectively I think you'll find success rather quickly due to that.BTW - for a property management platform I would highly recommend Buildium.
