If you have a business you can grow and get financially rewarded that is higher priority then leaving that.

I purchase the land from a local jeweler who I tracked down at his business and asked he was interested in selling.

The real wealthy people are quiet, unassuming, running their business and not their mouths.Keep networking, educating, and growing.

Hey Stephen, I know this was a while ago, but are you still in the business?

Hey all,Just wanted to introduce myself - bought a duplex in Los Feliz over the summer with a few business partners and will be renovating the property while living there.

If you do that once it's a problem but six times and perhaps more you probably shouldn't be in this business. 

Anyone know of any good sources for small business HELOCs?

Congrats on getting started with the STR business. 

My focus is on providing either turnkey-style space for those interested in temporary, infrequent use or long-term leasing for business folks who require conference room space (or perhaps event space).  

I personally do not touch equity in my own home to incorporate into my business.
