@Aaron Rushtoni know your questions are very focused on the HELOC but... there are lots of aspects to a BRRRR, and financing is only one of them.and if you use borrowed funds for 100% of everything then yes, that's potentially less cash out of pocket, but it also increases the overall cost of your project, putting more pressure on the appraisal and refinance.

@Isadore Nelsonhappy to help - some of the expenses you're missing would be property management, capex, repairs, and vacancy / turnover.so for example - $1000 in rent - you might have $100-150 in property management, $50-100 in repairs, $50-150 in vacancy and placement costs, and capex would be whatever is coming due soon. a furnace, a dishwasher, whatever.it also generally costs half a month to a full month's rent to place a tenant.

I'd look into Air BnB, VRBO, Furnished Finder, PadSplit, and perhaps even booking.com (I know a lot of STR operators use this, not sure of MTR potential but worth checking out).

I just put the MHP below under contract with 0% down, 20 years amortization with a 10-year balloon.The frustration is because I don't see other investors actively doing this and these sellers and communities need it, badly. 16 spaces, storage parking, storage garage, community office, and potential expansion opportunities.
