Not sure if this is the correct place to post this.  

Well-maintained homes: Homeowners tend to spend more time and money maintaining their homes, which contributes to the overall quality of the neighborhood.

HELOCs are usually variable rate and there may be yearly fees associated with maintaining the HELOC.

The market will eventually correct the price. 

So I'm understanding this correctly, did you do a cash out refi on your primary residence then took that money and paid off the rental in Dallas.

While leasing is the front door to maintaining a property’s occupancy, renewing tenants is the back door.

That's correct, I spend $140 per month on QBO ($90 for one LLC, and $50 for the other) plus my bookkeeper that averages about $500-$600 per month.Great idea, and yes I would do a trial for a few months using both.

Please let me know if this sounds correct.

$2600 is correct/month.

If you spend time learning how to manage well, your income will increase, you'll save time, and you'll maintain your sanity with the courage to expand.
