The only item I would suggest is double check the payment terms of the your HELOC... in particular, can you pay interest only or are you required to pay a portion of principle each month on the amount utilized.

If I have some cash do you recommend clearing the loan or invest instead for next property with proper planning ? 

When I signed up, there were two different options: Lease, where they pay you fixed amount/mo and arbitrage the difference, and revenue share, where they take a management fee, pass on fixed costs.

Thanks for the feedback; some quick stats: 9 doors across 4 states, about 50% LTV ratio with a Net Income of about 17% and cash on cash of about 3%.....in fairness those numbers include some overall business expenses not tied directly to one specific property.

Purchase price: $178,000 Cash invested: $10,000 primary home own use has an Airbnb/ short term rental 5 months out the year/sometime this year will try BRRRR

Mostly due to the fact my spouse and I agreed on her to have zero involvment in any sort of RE investing (and its our home) I think once you have a good 6-12 months of reserve cash (operating expenses for your own life saved as a back up incase things go bad) save enough liquidity to get the ball rolling on your first invesment.

If the property is not cash flowing and is due to your mortgage carry, it will most likely require a cash buyer to work (or close to it). 

The LLC is irrelevant unless you are paying cash or getting a DSCR loan.

Kind of like a cash for keyshttps://martinezlawcenter.com/new-rental-laws-in-california-...Most of the long time investors I know haven't had problems but if you get a "professional tenant" in look out and call your RE attorney.  

So now we cover utilities for both units and the new tenant pays a higher amount too on the back unit to cover all the utilities with a great profit.
