I tend toward HYSA, T-bills, CDs for funds I will need in 2-3 years.

This was not meant to be an advertisement it was about spreading the news that these programs do exist.

You might consider a laddered CD strategy, a high-yield money market account, or short-term Treasury bonds (T-bills) for stability while still outpacing inflation.

Suggest a little higher m-t-m rent, than what it would have been if it was a term renewal.How have you dealt with such situations in the past? 

@Kenny HardcastleTwo more points I meant to add:-The cons for the lein/loan option on panels are well articulated in the previous comments.

I just did not understand what you meant but yes, I'm aware of this. 

I obtained a HELOC and used the equity acquired t purchase my first investment property, then took cash flow and equity from that 2nd deal to continue to grow, and the rest is history. 

Yeah Uncle Sammy said it's now T-town and that a dog-scat deal so to kick-rocks. 

As far as the use, Helocs are good for quick cash to bridge a scenario or cash shortfall, but are not meant for permanent financing.

I periodically call/text to just check in and give them an opportunity to say "oh yeah, I meant to reach out to you.
