If you feel ambitious, you could try a BRRR strategy adding additional equity to the subject home and then taking equity out of it to pay off either the HELOC or if you decided to the refinance the primary residence. 

Thanks for being open on the lessons learned. 

@Cameron Porter +95% of the land bank inventory is already picked over by the time it hits the public.The only people we know that have bought ALL went over budget and only the increasing market covered what would have been losses.So, proceed VERY carefully!

I own a commercial unit, and I’m trying to determine a fair rental rate for the space.

The short answer is that the longer you live in it the more gain will disappear. 

--reach out and thank them upon getting the booking and ask if they have any questions--send a "Welcome" email or automated message during the week prior to arrival--reach out the day after arrival to ask how everything was the first night and ask if there is anything that the property needs--reach out at the end of the stay (that morning or within 24 hours) and ask how everything was, anything to improve, anything to add to the house and then offer an incentive for returning guests.My 2 cents,Mike Absolutely stay in your place as Mike said.You will see things the cleaners will never let you know about.We stayed in our PF will putting up the Christmas decorations and found a cracked plastic shelf in the fridge. 

(never heard of them) for triple the rate of the old policy!

The house is valued at 200k asking price of 150K.

Rufo, so you are violating the HOA rules so I don't think they would cover anything if it is the fault of your guests.This will eventually catch up with you and could result in some big fines so maybe think of selling this or converting to a LTR instead.

I am in the process of refinancing for 100k to purchase a second property.
