There is no choice. 

Yes you can always generate income on it but pulling out by way of HELOC, that's your personal choice and the risk tolerance you have.

So, that ends up being a personal choice.3) The Stock Market has "flash crashes" where large hedge funds transact a sell order in split seconds, long before you even hear that you should sell.

;)My choice: Scott Shatford, founder of AirDNA, and cowboy of rent-to-rent short-term biz :)

The areas strong economy, rapid population growth, robust downtown, low rehab costs and inventory of deals made it an easy choice.  

If it is a choice between medicine or rent they need to understand that rent is more important than their health.

I believe they are a good third or fourth choice to round out a portfolio, after filling more core/conservative positions with Blackstone BREIT, StREITWise.

However, if residents are treated fairly (poor word choice because we may all have different definitions of what it means to treat a resident fair), but let's just say respectfully, then that relationship makes it really easy to be at 100% collection.  

If organizations are smart -- they'll evaluate key roles and determine where this person needs to be objectively, and then let the candidate of choice decide, a perk that they could offer over other organizations.

But you will eventually find that price threshold where not renting to someone for a super low rate is a better choice than taking a cheap booking and risk having problem tenants.Good luck!
