My wife and I earn over $350k a year in our jobs and all of that is now going to pay down debt.We have the option to increase our HELOC to unlock some more capital which I'm considering doing to try and get a good return on my money and pay down the debt faster, but given past experiences I'm not convinced it won't end up with more debt.What would you do at this point?

Offer a great first-stay experience with thoughtful touches like welcome gifts and clear communication to earn those initial positive reviews.For Big Bear’s rules, stay on top of local ordinances—maybe even connect with other hosts for advice.

I'm just new to this world and wonder what someone with some experience would do.

I have others that can close in just a few days, if that's your priority.I'm happy to share my experience both as an investor and as a lender.

I prefer markets that experience mild winters to eliminate the added costs brutal winters can bring. 

Hindsight and a few decades of experience has taught me that with a good lawyer I would have been in the clear completely.

Please share any helpful resources, your personal experiences, and what you have found to be valuable with every transaction.

I would anticipate it would depend on the level of detail you desired but it has been my experience that the will do free estimates.

It also gave me the chance to experiment with short-term rentals before transitioning to a long-term hold, reinforcing my strategy for growing a real estate portfolio.

I doubt I would hand the whole thing over to a developer, as I'm inclined to use the experience as a stepping stone in my career.
