At entry there is a multi-exit strategy and multi-hold strategy contingent planning well mapped out.

After, you can start bringing on owners confidently and it's one of the lowest costs to entry around with a very high upside.

To be specific, how is entry to the unit communicated, status of the work order, and payment processed with the contractor?

If you are going to be active, and have high conviction in a project with a clearly defined entry/exit strategy then using a HELOC is one of the better sources of capital.But, I continue to have my stance that, on average, folks who use a HELOC to fund the down payment for long-term investments will eventually find themselves in a situation where their portfolios drain their personal financial situations, rather than fueling them. 

The ones I manage total to 20 bedrooms.These rooms rent for between $125 to $225 per week depending on room size and amenities in the room (beyond basic amenities may include: Desk, Tv, private entry, tenant controlled AC, additional storage).This month after padsplit takes their 14.25% cut of the revenue I am recieving, from the units I own, $15,230 from 3 homes.

, and low entry level price.

In the Pace Morby parlance I have come to learn that the gap funding or equity component is called and ET or "Entry Fee"..

However, some investors see potential in these markets because of low entry costs, steady military demand for housing, and decent cash flow from rentals, especially if the area has stable, government-backed tenants like service members.

If that is the only entry point I would try adding a hallway to the rest of the home or look at a different configuration.
