What if the second property you look at meets all your needs?

I want to get a HELOC right after so I can purchase a second and possibly third property.

The second is the small taxpayer safe harbor. 

A trusted mortgage broker told me that if I stay in a my second property for at least one night, I can consider it a secondary home versus investment property and therefore get a better interest rate. 

Has anyone ever questioned what their CPA told them and gotten a second opinion from another CPA? 

The catch is he would not want to be on the mortgage but would require having a second position on the home after the primary lender.My goal is to expand my Airbnb business to a second home buy purchasing a full time Airbnb.

Aside from the worst case scenario of not being able to get financing for the deal and I guess having to give the place back to the seller, the second worst option that I'm seeing is having to pay the investor back myself as their funds will be tied up in the property.  

Crowd funding sites will, in all likelihood, not want to partner with newbies.

Let me know if I'm misinterpreting anything, but as I understand it, you'll need to do the following (assuming the worst-case scenario in terms of costs):Front $45,000 in cash for the rehab+ $10,000 for wiping out the lien in the second position, and also obtain a wraparound mortgage for $95,000 to absorb the lien in the first position. 

Give me a second to take everything in and get back to ya'll!
