I am prepared to move ahead, but want to pick the optimal partner who can be effective yet not a large name that we burn thru few years of my cashflow on these units. 

you could look at a Refi for the rental or both rentals, trying to optimize the return-to-leverage ratio and use that money to pay off the primary and get your HELOC.

Obvi, I will never stop direct mail because it's the most targeted way to get and close deals (just advertise for EXACTLY what your buyers are looking for - it's the EASIEST money) but I sure as heck don't focus on it like I used to.I used to say "bleh I dont want to waste my time on a website cos that takes foreeeever to optimize in order to start getting leads" but WHOA was I sadly mistaken or what.

If anyone is looking to learn a little more about optimizing their financing to buy multiple properties feel free to DM. 

My own experience has taught me that successfully managing multifamily assets demands meticulous attention to detail and a proactive approach.It is critical to establish effective systems and implement well-thought-out business plans in order to optimize results.

I thought the best strategy would be to rent it out so that the other mortgage would be paid off,  just not sure how to optimize it.

Looking for 20+ unit deals (optimally 40-100 units), primarily in Tampa Bay area and also in Florida as a whole.Would love to connect with agents and to source deals in other possible ways. 

But it does mean significantly lower prices and dismantling of the euphoric drivers of optimism into all markets. 

While 2021 was filled with hope and optimism for the industry, 2022 is going to be even better for travel and short-term rentals alike.As more people and their children are getting vaccinated, they are also gaining confidence in traveling and have started to make plans.And in November 2021, the US lifted its international travel ban and re-opened its borders to fully vaccinated foreign tourists.Because of these trends, this year is bound to be a booming time for travel, and investors who have been thinking of buying a short-term rental for sale should do it now.If you are one of these investors and want to know which cities have the highest profit potential for short-term rentals in 2022, here they are!

You would be better off selling, and buying two new properties — One to live in (to fit your family’s lifestyle preferences), and another more optimized for the rental value.
