That’s something I’m actively exploring—whether it’s through direct-to-seller marketing, networking with local wholesalers, or even tapping into connections through my brother-in-law, who works with builders and contractors in the area.I’m not expecting slam-dunk deals or easy wins, but the numbers on a few potential projects I’ve run so far seem to work under the assumption that I’ll leave some cash in the deals.

Quote from @Andrew Lawlor: I've been actively investing in short-term rental properties for the past three years, managing one live property and another that will go live in two months.

Anyone actively flipping in LA/ SoCal?

Paying off rental mortgages increases monthly cash flow but reduces liquidity, while investing in hard money lending offers high returns but is taxed as ordinary income.Buying a multi-unit rental provides tax benefits like depreciation, while purchasing a business can yield strong profits but requires active management.

The Tenant agrees to maintain an active renters insurance policy for the duration of the lease term and any renewal periods.

My biggest advice when designing a vacation rental is to truly know the daily activities, habits, and needs of your target guests.

.#1 I would call the city rentals department directly and ask if the seller's license will remain active until the day yours becomes active.

The guests stayed for a month and did not monitor this activity. 

Typically the first set of tenants I screen are the ones who end up in the unit due to prescreening activities like my application and making sure I meet them.

I assume your wish to use a HELOC is to avoid paying interest when you are not actively rehabbing a BRRRR.
