Sounds like an interesting startup.

I have a HELOC of 250k that I have been using but I feel like Im not scaling as fast as I could be.

I agree with everyone who mentioned self-managing (using a tool like Hospitable makes it a breeze almost with a good cleaning team/handy person).

They will have a reclaim period or something like that where they just have to pay you whatever you put in + interest.

You don't like him. 

Timely completion and staying within budget are key to maximizing profit in competitive markets like Nashville.

Laud area-Cash flow is minimal, $300 a month-Selling now would allow opening up of equity to redeploy in another market with over 2x the cash flow for a new build-New market won't appreciate as much as FL though (not even close)-Current home will likely get hit with higher taxes, insurance etc. in coming year and years to come-Biggest reason to consider just keeping current property?

But if he has capital in his account, then most likely he's already paid taxes on that money.

Consider factors like financing terms, local market knowledge, and trends.Good luck!
