At this interest rate and with current rents it won't cash-flow for many years.

I wonder if these are like pay day loans super high interest.. does anyone know what the interest rate is.. that could be the play.. be the lender on these deals :)

You are paying ordinary income rates on the interest -no way around that.

Cash flow is around $1k due to my low interest rate and MTR strategy. 

Thank you Henry, so does this mean they are 21% below street rates with 95% occupancy?

-Should I put the property under an LLC (pay higher mortgage rate, but better protection against lawsuits) or keep under my name?

My question is: we have an unused HELOC for 150k but the rate is 10% (harsh).

Have more than 1 exit strategy- IE: if you buy a house intending to flip and the market goes bad, have something that would be suitable as a rental as well.  5.Know the area in and out that you intend to buy in - tax rates, HOA's, flood zones (if any).

There is no correlation between number of nights and "quality of guest".There is also a misnomer that "if my rates are too cheap, I'll attract trashy guests." 

Also, if you list the property at the higher rate because you’re including SOME of the electric utilities (because you won’t be able to eliminate 100% of the bill.) you’re going to lose potential tenants that are filtering by rent and/or see similar properties for less, causing longer vacancies.
