I bought about 65 homes over that two year period.. did very well.. 

Some options I'm running in the background of my brain while still learning the basics would be, in no particular order.A- HELOC.B- Sell my current house and either rent short term to get some momentum or use part of my equity to put down on a new home and the rest into a rental. 

I changed my strategy to only invest in my 401k up to matching and then put the rest of my savings into my IRA for that reason.

If you're tax bill is $6-8k (minus the 1031 fees), surely you can make that up by taking multiple swings over a longer period of time.OR pursue some sort of owner occupied strategy with that cash if you can swing a live in flip or house hack.

I am curious though, in hindsight, how does an investment in STR in Hawaii in 2012 would compare with other markets over this period of time despite all the regulation headwinds?

Those frauds just buy 'carbon credits' so they can feel better about themselves, they don't really care or they would alter their lifestyles instead of pounding the rest of us with the guilt, Lol....And if we look at the temps for the last millenium instead of the last century, they can show that although we are in a temporary upswing, we're really on a slide into a colder era.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

Your issue more so is the seasoning period for the refinance is what it sounds like.

Ultimately, a “win-win” keeps your tenant profitable while ensuring you’re not underpricing your asset.As for notice periods, definitely check your local regs, from what I’ve heard.

I have three listings, 1. unit with a pool and hot tub, 2. unit with a hot tub, 3. both units together as a 12 sleeper.Gross monthly income (after booking channel fees) for the first unit over a 7 month period was $7309.Gross monthly income for both units over a 14 month period is $11,297 (after booking channel fees) As a long term rental the combined rent would be in the region of $5500.Is it possible to sell the property based on the income generated by the STR business or would the value always be based on bricks and mortar comps?
