@Sonya Sharova I haven't personally done Frank Rolfes boot camp but I have heard it's great.

Personally, I'd go with the As-Is scenario.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

I don't have any brand preferences personally (I use Fantasy Spas at most of my units but I'm sure there are alot of reputable options), but just make sure wherever you place it is built to handle that type of weight.

I personally do not have experience managing rentals.

Just my personal opinion - get a mentor or a person who already has good experience running STR business, preferably in your area (but not 100% required). 

Personally, If I could pull out a HELOC, I would use it to fix and flip which will typically make sense as you shouldnt be keeping the money out for that long and you can recycle it or pay it back and build off the capital that you got from. the flip.

Be prepared to follow up multiple times, using different forms of communication—calls, emails, and if possible, in-person visits to their office.

Account holders can't take any write-offs personally for investments made in the 401k.

.: I'd be tempted into doing an STR (maybe with a higher down payment to ensure cashflow, just run ROI numbers) or an apartment complex - I personally wouldn't mess w/ small stuff.
