I am developing my skills with 3D photography/tours as well as graphic design and digital marketing.Any ideas on whether I should live for free in Lake Tahoe and work as a real estate agent in a competitive/low volume market or move back down to my college town of Santa Barbara and pay rent while building a real estate career there?

To use a HELOC to pay off a hard money loan can also be a good move.To use a HELOC to pay off an existing mortgage rarely makes sense as you are just trading one loan for another and usually its HELOCS that carry a higher rate (and are variable) than a traditional mortgage.

I can almost guarantee I save every one of my investors owners money, get them better tenants, rent it faster, rent it for money, write better leases, get them better trades who charge less, and keep them out of trouble better than they can do on their own.   

But, those rules of thumb and shortcuts will be specific to your location, the types of houses you're doing, the finishes you use, the types of contractors you're using, your negotiating skill etc.In other words, the shortcuts and rules of thumb that I have for my houses in my area with my contractors and my finishes and with my negotiation ability are going to be different than yours.Learn the process, practice, and it will get easier.
