Hey @Brandon Toron,Given your plan to turn the property into a short-term rental (STR), you have a few creative ways to push closer to that 90% cash-out goal, even if traditional lenders shy away from it:1. 

@Bobby Short

Properties in or near these cultural zones can be prime for short-term rentals or Airbnb.3.

Will you use the HELOC as a short-term bridge, or plan to hold it longer?

Purchase price: $310,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Big Blue - 2 units fully rented, 1 with section 8 tenant and 1 unit being used for short term rentals What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Of the many strategies I've looked into, House-hacking and short-term rentals piqued my interests. 

@Matt PowersFrom my experience, deciding between short-term rentals (STRs) and long-term rentals (LTRs) depends on the market.

The Lake Tahoe market has many intricacies regarding short-term rentals, but navigating them is definitely possible.

We are now doing short term rentals but we're thinking about changing to a small wedding venue. 

If it's worth that much, taking a HELOC on it should not be an issue at all long-term or short-term as long as the bank will do it.
