Would a HELOC or home equity loan on my personal home be a good idea to fund this?  

Contents (Personal Property): most homeowners policies give a set % of the Buildinglimit for Contents.

However, because I am unable to make trips to scout locations or look at homes in person.

So, the total base move-in costs would be $2500, all paid prior to lease signing.Since choosing a place to live is a very personal decision, please feel free to do a “drive by” of the property, located at 123 Main St., so you can get a feel for the neighborhood.

@Niklas Zhu If you tear down your STR in 2025 and convert it to personal use, depreciation recapture does not occur at the time of conversion.

It separates your personal assets from your business, providing a safeguard if any legal issues arise related to tenants or the property.

@Antoine Black  In general, yes, it goes off your personal credit. 

I will make that proposal to the person I am talking and see where it goes.

For comparison, a Navy Federal FCU personal loan will be in the 15s%

The lot is paid off and deeded to our LLC, but lender will not do conventional loan to LLC for the remaining financing so we'd need to take out a loan in our personal names.
