That would allow for me to save some money on the down payment and aquire other flips/rentals.

@Jacob Kocent Thank you so much on your comment, these areas actually look promising.

Bob,You might want to re-think that plan if you are going to use a HELOC versus an actual cash out refinance.

Getting money after you have a number of flips under your belt can be fairly easy and all the higher volume and/or higher dollar flippers we know eventually run out of cash.

Also note that at first I was nervous about vacancies b/c I marketed it and then it sat for a bit but it seems travel nurses book very close to the the time they actually will be in the area, about 2 weeks out from move in date.

They can be more flexible and may provide quicker access to funds.Private Money Lenders: These lenders can offer more flexible terms and faster approval processes compared to traditional banks.

I feel that even if I work less, my money will go further and I can save more.

While we are not truly concerned with making it someones dream home, we do want it to be smooth/safe with a modest level of eye appeal and without a massive time or money investment.

We currently have about $60,000 of our own money to use for investing/renovating our properties.

You are already losing money on it so you should either cut your losses and sell or be comfortable losing money on a monthly basis with the expectation to make it up on the sale down the road (see you're in FL so you might need to wait a few years).
