Good luck!

It's just that in this market deals are few and far between and I don't know when or even if I could find another deal soon.You are putting both assets at risk for a very long time.

Can anyone recommend a good property management company or co-host for STR's in Indy? 

 a good market would Florida  mainly  from West Palm beach to Miami let me know if you need any help I am a wholesaler/investor 

Great for realtors who should be calling all of their old leads with the good news of todays Fed rate cut.As rates continue to fall this is the time to ask for "Seller Credits" and think about using that credit towards buying the rate down.

Sounds like a good choice then to do the HELOC, especially if you are going to make it a rental in the future and a HELOC will be harder to come by once it's an investment property.

During the short-term rental (STR) boom, we saw a surge of people buying properties that weren’t ideally suited for long-term success in the STR market.

Good for you though.

People need to feel safe in their community as well as good schools, etc.

This is a good start.
