I don't think that I mentioned that I do still have one lower paying W-2 job, and rental income from my 1st property (short term rental income thru Air BnB) that brings in on average $1300 per month.

One of my favorite real estate strategies for this year is Short Term Rentals.  

We want to keep my house long term as either a short term airbnb rental or long term rental.

You maybe able to get the bank to agree to a short sale instead.

My main concern was that with a HELOC I would not want to carry the additional payment for a long time, so maybe investing in a flip or something that would allow me to recoup the cash within a relatively short period of time would be most beneficial? 

They are rented in a short term way and traditional way.As a real estate agent I work selling agricultural land and apartments. 

I’ll be glad to be of assistance, I’m short on capital currently.

He should respond shortly if he hasn't done so already.

One of best ways in the short term would be to connect with a Registered Real estate agent who shares your goals and  would be willing to search the MLS on your behalf.

I know this topic has a lot of forum questions dedicated to it already, but my go-to resources direct mail list resources seem to be set-up differently then in the past.I have used Reonomy and List Source previously for direct mail leads with good enough results that I'd use them again, however Reonomy has just recently been forcing an annual contract instead of monthly which is WAY too costly for what I need, and List Source has split up the commercial properties list differently then the last time I used them and almost all of them are listed in "Commercial: miscellaneous" with every other property types, and I have tried filtering differently with no positive results.My goal is to get "true ownership information"(Names, Addresses, Phone Numbers of people who own LLCs & INCs), but for now this is a one time thing, so I don't need an annual contract, and I don't want to pay thousands for Co-Star for an entire year or something.I do have TLO, however pulling multiple owner's information is very time consuming, so I'd like to do this only for a few select properties.Long story short, I'd settle for any ownership information whether it's company data or not, but I'd like to do a one time deal and get 500-1000 leads.
