There's some who are more so there to help advise as I make my own path presumably with the ability to identify issues ahead of time.

I decided not to go ahead with the deal but alot of useful information has been offered by many of you.

Looking forward to my visit in a couple weeks as we continue our research for an STR in the area. 

Thank you so much and Happy Holidays ahead as well.

Look at it as an opportunity to get ahead.

(accommodate visit for medical reasons) or STR in general for this local market?

So I always try to plan ahead, triple check my due diligence, and be VERY conservative with my underwriting.

Just remember to always keep your client's interests ahead of your own, be transparent, and keep investing and moving forward! 

They're good to have open access to capital/cash/equity to a property ahead of time so you can execute a deal or purchase when the time comes on a split second decision (versus having to apply to a loan at that time which might take 20-45 days to get approved/closed/etc plus by that time you dont know what your future income/credit/assets will be like in order to qualify anyway).The second use is sleep at night factor and having a reserve of capital in the event an emergency event occurs in life.For these two reasons is why I use lines of credit.

It takes little time to do it, so I always just filled out the form()s) ahead of time for them, and then just brought it to them to sign.
