I want both of my points to stand out, so I was liberal with my use of bold.When investing in real estate, debt shouldn't bother you as long as it increases your cash flow.

I attribute this to the fact that we've never done business together.

You did a nice job with the rehab and making it stand out - got my attention !

They helped me determine if a heloc in first lien position was right for me, provided a list of banks and credit unions that offer helocs with the right attributes, and offer helpful bonus content like interviews with successful real estate investors.I am at the final stages of closing on my heloc, and am really excited to gain some ground on paying off my house.

Last week we had two from different applicants for different properties and were different employers that had the same suspicious attributes...- The format for the paystubs were identical and like no other stub I have seen

However, you cannot deduct expenses directly attributable to the rental period (rental agency fees, cleaning, and so forth).

Making strong offers  and displaying a solid ability to close will stand out more than the buyer's name.

This doesn't mean it is impossible, it just means that you will need to find a way to stand out against your competitors.

So, you either choose to live where life stays pretty much the same and it forces you to be the standout to succeed above and beyond everyone else or you live where you can make money simply by paying your mortgage and staying in your house for a number of years.

@Fabian Martinez Yes, I do think it's worthwhile to invest in STRs here, but you have to really know what you're doing and create a really amazing and unique experience for your guests in order to stand out, because there are A LOT of really amazing STRs out here, and even more that will be launching within the next year.
