I couldn't have predicted this nine months ago, but I'm smart enough to predict things like this will happen eventually and I plan accordingly. also highly dependent on class of asset.. where in the country it is. and tenant base your renting to.. your mileage may or will vary depending on these variables.

The city, at the time, expressed disappointment at the ruling and began reviewing its options in response.We now have some clarity on the city’s response to the ruling, and it’s overall good news for STR investors wishing to operate in accordance with local law.

In the meantime, I use my W2 income to pay the HELOC minimum and try to through  between $500-1000/month toward the principal to pay it down. my point is you have to pay some how and if the hello is your only option to get in the game then I say go for it.Good Luck!

Also if you don't know, there is a relatively new and expanding Navy base near by, increasing active duty military demand for housing.

This allows you to ladder investments if you're saving up for a big deposit or if you just want the option every few months to extract principal or reinvest.
