It would be prudent to have an additional exit strategy if and when the city becomes sincere in their regulation efforts, or, more likely extorts enough money from AirBnB'ers that it is no longer unusually profitable.

All - I sincerely appreciate your responses and apologize for the delay.

I have since re-fied the heloc money that was out on the condo right back into my house payment and just finished opening my new heloc with all the crazy appreciation around here.

We can only guess where the market will be this time next year, but if I acquire roughly the same amount of property each year, the ups and downs will smooth out, the great deals in a down market will help carry the less spectacular deals in an up market and if i'm cash flowing on all properties at purchase I shouldn't have too many issues since rents don't fluctuate nearly as much as home values.This is the one area where I get a little "paralysis by analysis" wondering if we are in an up or down market today (my newbie opinion is we are somewhere in the middle).  

Any help would be greatly appreciated,Sincerely,Tyler Jaeger

Another thing people do to get their initial capital is take out a loan against their 401k (I used this strategy to afford the down payment on my primary residence). 401k loans are cool because any interest you pay actually gets paid into your 401k, since really you're just borrowing from yourself.
