I assume you got a better interest rate, and I know you are saving a boatload of interest. 3) imagine year 11-30 where you are cash flowing thousands with paid off properties instead of hundreds because of these lean 10 years. 4) hopefully you can raise rents at least $100 each every year and in 2 years your cash flow neutral even with preferred short term mortgage. 

I still attend local meet ups and talk to dozens of investors and am considering other strategies like Mid-Term Rentals or rent by the room. 

If you are doing rentals, especially long term rentals, you are unlikely to be able to live off of those for a while if they have mortgages. 

If you had to pick a market in the PNW to invest in a long-term rental, where would it be?

Might be a diamond on the rough if you can fix it up and then long-term rent.

Quote from @Jack Matthias: Hi Josh,Curious why the Heloc as this can be done with better terms going the conventional route. 

I recently analyzed an asset of vacation cabins - where the seller would earn 23% ROI over a 5 year term.   

Can anyone shed some light on what kind of down payment, terms and qualification requirements we would typically be looking at for an SBA or low down commercial loan?

Price point I'm not sure on yet, I've been slowly learning about all of these terms over the past month.
