I'm looking forward to meeting new people and am happy to share my experiences through my first 4 years in real estate with anybody who's looking to get started.

My wife and I are about to put our WI lakehouse out as a STR this year.

Good luck and would love to hear more about the goals you make for this year.

U want to google insurance companies who place their clients that have had fires etc.thats what I do for the last 5 years.. top quality tenants no need for PM .. backed by insurance.my unit normal rent about 2k we get double that.. ours is  townhouse Gated prime area of Summerlin.. not all areas are great in Vegas the closer to the strip the grungier it gets.

Having owned property in rockford its not a great appreciation area so getting a HELOC will probably take 5-10 years based on loan pay down and maybe some slight appreciation.

You may end up having to go Hard Money, or maybe you go Hard Money for 6 months or year and then refi into a DSCR.

A FICO score requirement of 650 or higher, along with at least three years of consistent income that's 3X the monthly rent, are also a good ideas.

I've been using the app for several years; each time I get a new iPhone I redownload it and it works great.  

I wanted them to sell these properties years ago but I guess I can officially say goodbye to my money.
