In both scenarios, I will use the equity in my first rental via HELOC to either cover the conventional loan's down payment and fund the rehab or to fund the hard money down payment and meet the reserve capital requirements.

While this could lead to a temporary softening in rental demand, it also opens up opportunities for investors to acquire properties at more favorable terms.ConclusionThe recent drop in mortgage rates to their lowest point since May 2023 presents both opportunities and challenges for the housing market.

I don't really watch the "prices" of my rental properties. 

If you are interested, we have an in-person event coming up this Saturday where we are diving in to AirBnB / Short-term rentals in Chicago.

They also have a pulse on who in the area has successful property management businesses (maybe themselves)3) Search direct booking sites in your area on google like "Vacation Rentals In Allentown" and see if websites pop up that are not airbnb or Vrbo you could reach out on.

   I've now owned my first rental property for about four months and am now looking to purchase my second property. 

I own a single family rental that does very well and I live in my other SFH in the same town.
