@Ben Cochran I hope you have factored STR tax savings into your cashflow and ROI as it can be significant.Leveraging equity to purchase a short-term rental (STR) in Tampa Bay can diversify your portfolio and potentially generate strong cash flow, but it also increases your financial risk.While your properties hold significant equity, adding debt from HELOCs or a DSCR loan could strain your finances if STR performance fluctuates or costs rise.

This new property is pumping out around a 10.5-11% cap currently.My credit score is not great as it sits, hovering around a 650 but slowly increasing as i'm paying off debt.

People responded by explaining that residential mortgage lenders are looking for US-based customers, who have their residence, income and assets in the States.How do they view foreign debt?

Frankly, I am a little tired of people telling me to zip it, when we all have serious issues that need to be discussed and hashed out (23 trillion in debt and perpetual war comes to mind).

By temporarily halting distributions, we can preserve capital, manage our resources more effectively, and invest in key areas that will drive future growth and profitability.In the interim, we are taking strategic steps to strengthen our financial health, including cost-reduction measures, revenue-generating initiatives, and debt restructuring options.

It seems to me that there multiple deflationary trends in the world right now but I don’t see a politically acceptable exit of all the accumulated debt in Europe and Portugal without using inflation.

Instead we got some smooth sales dude who had hit rock bottom and is now "rich" because he took on debt to do a RIch Dad program years ago.

Backstory: 22 years old about to get out of military after first contract. 70k cash saved up & 775 credit score, no debt.

They got fundamentally sound real estate, with matching debt (10+ yr fixed rate) and budgets with the intent to hold nearly forever. 

HELOCs are good for short term debt: rehabbing for a BRRRR/ to sell or flipping etc.
