I will say this, I would rather negative cash flow $100-300/month on a long term rental than positive cash flow $500 with an STR. 

I've been in a similar situation and found a few great options that integrate with QuickBooks Online:Stessa: Seamless integration with QuickBooks, real-time visibility, plus historical P&L, cash flow, and return on equity.

I showed them the whole business model and spreadsheet...We ordered the Feasibility study and appraisalThen they gave me a Term Letter that states everything even construction cost analysis by their 3rd partyThats where we are atwe have a GAP of $2.7MWe came up with the strategy last night.. that at the very least we need $1.5M cash to pay a balloon payment by June 27 or it forecloses... the lord will not let that happen.So I have the green light from the Lord to talk to all the interested investors as He is opening up the doors of Favor

I found this week’s property and it looks like they a good job finding a property that is eye catching and potentially cash flowing:https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/73292-20th-Ave-Desert-Hot...Here are the numbers:https://www.bnbcalc.com/analysis/73292-20th-ave-desert-hot-s...What do you think of this investment opportunity?

Should we wait for lower interest rates or consider a cash-out refinance.. or maybe something else?

I have been considering a DSCR loan on the Townhome to get some of our cash out of it.Given my situation, how could I use that... to expand my rental properties?

@Frank ChinBased on the opportunity value of cash your equity, if your mortgage free, is most likely creating negative cash flow from your investment property.With the opportunity value of cash at a minimum of 10% for every 100K in equity you must deduct $833/month from your rental income to insure a accurate accounting of your TRUE income.Investors must keep in mind every property has two separate income generating streams.
