Overall, you might find that you enjoy property managing. 

AirBNB is primarily known for short term vacation rentals but your minimum stay can be set to 30 days to ensure you are getting MTR tenants.

Grand Rapids is a great market (we just vacationed here and loved it!).

I enjoy helping Bigger Pockets members and teahing all the loopholes I have found out over the last 18+ years!

Some call a line of credit a bridge but its not its a open end mortgage and the lien is in second position.If you have any questions or want more info on the above types of scenarios feel free to reach out or send me an email.What you want in this current market is a cash out refinance unless you are trying to sell a primary or vacation home.

You can look into the ATI exemption, but I dont know if it applies to vacation homes.

The townhouse we are looking at has a Certificate of No Harassment in place, open violations and a vacate order.

We are only very moderately leveraged, but I am in no rush to change that and rather use the cash flow to re-invest either into upgrades (we are doing a ton of driveways this year) or more RE.I don't think there is a right or wrong way, like you said there are many different ways, I just find myself adjusting every year a bit more in that direction. most condos historically are not great appreciation plays. its a place to live and enjoy.. unless said condo was bought in Miami in 2008 to 2010 :)No $#@% mate.And Chicago has been a disaster for many years now.I pinged Bri about it a while ago and she said "Good luck" hahaI guess it's more a trophy property than anything else during my "ego" pumping days.A bit older, balder and smarter nowadays I guess.Less is more mate lol

Build up for your next investment.I'm not actually spending any of the investment money on myself for a car or vacation.

Congrats, you're a rare find, enjoy your unicorn status!
