Could have done better in the stock market with no work.  

I've tried to learn QuickBooks numerous times and it never got better or easier over the many years it's been around. 

Can talk to anyone and even better listener and learner. 

Any other recommendations out there that may be better/easier to use? 

Again I don't recommend using the HELOC to buy a LTR unless you can force appreciation heavily and refi out the HELOC.Regardless having a HELOC out is a good idea so you can be your own bank and fund a flip or BRRRR.I would go with the 300k as it might take time for me to find a deal and I would have more resources for bigger projects. 1% isn't too crazy... accesss to 100k is better IMO

I suggest you check it out I think that I'm better looking but he is probably better at real estate then I am lolThanks and have a great day.

If they are asking for a discounted rate, more than a LTR but less than your going rate, that seems to be a better indication they are real people.

I would personally feel better if they were at 4" though, particularly if there will be small kids as renters.

The house will cash flow but the property comes with a great newly built barn with a slab and all.Now when my brother and I both left for college my parents had no use for a golf simulator that we had in our garage so they offered for me to use it at a property.This would for sure add a lot of value to bookings but I cant decide if the $50 - $100 a night or so increase (just a estimate) is a better option than spending the 40-60k to turn the barn into an ADU / separate dwelling to add cash flow and equity to the property. 

If not, you may be better off just standing pat.
