You will get a better rate when getting your money via a cash-out than heloc.

Thanks to BP, since 2020 I've acquired 7 units now worth $2.5m via the slow and steady method of house hacking combined with smart personal finance habits I've learned from BP and other within the sphere podcast like Choose FI, Afford Anything etc.

I'll disclose my budget & personal goals via 1:1 messages.

For instance, with STRs, why won't an investor spend an hour on AirBNB for their area to identify listings that:1) rank the highest2) occupancy 95%+3) ADR $750+4) hosts have 2+ properties5) listings are branded with 20k+ Instagram followersetcThen, reach out to those top operators; as many don't have the time or gave up on cold outreach, yet they've done the hardest 90%, have skin in the game, and outcompeted thousands of listings nearby.Agree, however you can’t reach out to the operators via Airbnb.

I can give you much more specific info if you would like it via email or phone.

@NaTarrio JonesIf the bank is telling you (directly, not via tenant) that there were funds available, I would just waive the late fees and move on.

I negotiated via email and through Min.

Not to mention, may have some off-market buy potentials via one they currently manage that owner is looking to retire out of. 

I understand they have their busy days (as we all do), but have been truly responsive and supportive  via email or phone.

I'm not sure if these high tech salaries will continue, some of them get compensated via RSU (Restricted Stock Units) My suggestions were to house hack (if they're still renting) or within a 2 to 3 hour drive.
