Hey Craig, Just to keep the positive train going, this deal may not be exactly what you want for monthly cash flow, but it is definitely getting you closer to cash flowing the way you want to.

Evicting a Section 8 tenant is the exact same thing as evicting any other tenant.

I decide to call Waivo direct and ask them EXACTLY how this works with Furnished Finder and they were much better in explaining how it works. 

You will owe exactly the same amount of taxes if you get a heloc or not. 

I took the same exact path as you pretty much.

Quote from @Daniel Tanasa: Another option is to get a small cash out refinance from the house you plan on fixing up, if is in financeable condition, and use that to fix it up, while still cash flowing.

You can make minor adjustments based on the type of appliances (dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, air conditioning, etc.) and the size of the rental.

It's pretty easy to see that real estate proces peaked around 2007-2008 and then crashed during the Great Recession.Around 2011-2012 prices started to recover and got back to their pre-Crash highs around 2015-2016, but really 2018-2019 when adjusted.So, why are newbies reading books written BEFORE 2019 and thinking that you can still successfully invest using the EXACT advice in these relatively "old" books?

Several investors that have bought from me have used that exact strategy.

Ensure that the cash flow from short-term rentals will cover your expenses.Ultimately, it depends on balancing location, property condition, and cash flow goals.
