This ask to me would be the same as a tenant saying they were interested in becoming a fire-breather at a circus and were planning on setting up a fire breathing testing site in the grass backyard.

Another month for the FED to come to it's senses on interest rates. 

historically rates adjust downward about 11 months after their high, which we haven't reached yet as the fed is thinking about another bump.  

Randomly, I fed it the opening post from a BP forum post that I had been commenting on, along with all my comments and got a really nice succinct way to sum it up for the initial question.  

I recommend for your next property(ies), find a tired landlord who is fed up with dealing with being a landlord.

Each week I generally drive around the area to check out the exteriors of the properties to make sure the tenants are cutting their grass and there's nothing out of the ordinary to be concerned with (no signs on the door, etc).In the beginning of the month I head to the banks (I work with 3 of them) and also deposit checks and do bookkeeping.I may take a nap in the middle of the day, watch some "Pawn Stars" (to learn the art of negotiation) or go grocery shopping or other errands.Some weekdays or weekends I will show properties if I'm renting them out.I will also gather lists of properties to view, and go check them out.Periodically I need to take a tenant call and call a contractor to get something repaired.I would say I probably work on average 2-3 hours a day, sometimes more, sometimes less.

But now it would seem we are very much towards the top of the near term market prices, with the FED actively trying to push home prices lower.  

The water is on a well and the waste is gravity fed to a large bank of septic tanks that are periodically pumped. 

I only see demand increasing as people get fed up with hotels and realize how much more value they get from a good STR. 

I'm now at over 20 properties and 50 residential units.The concern on HELOC is that with it being tied to the prime rate, it can vary as the FED continues to raise interest rates.
