Vrbo was not asking the hosts to opt in, just telling them they are doing it, and making them take the time to opt out. 

Depending on the type of Heloc you get its interest only payment for the first 3, 5 or 10 years then the remaining time will be a payment of principal and interest.

Hey @Tyler Capolungo,I fully support this decision!

I am betting that those with the biggest regrets are those that bought at the wrong time expecting COVID level occupancy was normal and those that didn't take the time to learn what it takes to run a successful STR.

@Johanna Valencia If you're looking to scale the portfolio, I'd suggest getting into another multi, somewhere within a manageable distance as to make it easy for you to manage, but also find something in which you will be able to fit your family.

Thank you all for your time and value add.
