@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.

I've been watching Chad Carson's videos and his approach of accumulating more properties than you need, then start using that income to pay off mortgages and cull the lower performing properties makes sense to me. 

Tough to stay disciplined as "Past performance is no guarantee of future results". 

As a "retired" public accountant and tax consultant I perform a lot of detailed ROI analysis for my clients. 

@Jay Hinrichs @Patrick DesjardinsWe rep and warrant all notes (both re-performing and non-performing) to be a valid lien and to be in the lien position as disclosed at the time of purchase.Our current performance warranty on re-performing notes is as follows:"In the event that a re-performing note becomes delinquent, or enters non-performing status, PPR’s Loss Mitigation Department will notify the note investor within 30-60 days and then attempt to address and correct the payment issue prior to the loan becoming 120 days past due.

Are there other notes you feel perform better than these?

Again, these are normally in the lower tier  neighborhoods that rarely perform on resale as their appraisal may suggest.

There is a potential scenario where an outside rescue fund (marketed as preferred equity to new investors) could come into play in many of the projects that appear to be performing especially if they have been paying the pref (via a reserve account stockpiled by over raising funds in the beginning).

As a total beginner at the time, I found the educational content helpful and informative.

@Kyle Carter we manage around 700 doors, with 92 of them being S8.When S8 applicants are properly screened, they can statistically perform a decent amount better than cash-tenants.
