I've been in the lending Industry for 20 years, and I feel many people on BiggerPockets give misleading information a lot of times.

I am obviously conflicted with the moral side of pursuing legal action here, but understand that people can do untruthful things when it comes to financial gains. 

You can just have people rebook if they want.We bought our lake house for use to use on occasion as well.

But we do not want to sell our current home.

My question is how do most people make the jump to the 2nd STR property if you're generating $25k per year on the high end? 

Luckily 2 got back to us and 1 of them was ready to sell but emotionally was struggling to make the commitment.

Little bit of pistachio to bring down that selling price? 

The goal of a HELOC is a quick line of credit to either refinance or sell and pay back the HELOC as soon as possible.PS - I would recommend taking a look into the Columbus Ohio market, there's tons of 1% rule deals still within the 120-180k price point with amazing appreciation potential.

Why not sell it?

Big potential downside- both a selling and buying agent are involved here and I believe they're expecting their 3% each.
