Eventually, buy another house after a couple years and rent the first house as an STR and do it over again.

Did some real halfway work and made me start looking elsewhere.Found a new reliable GCEvelevated my handy man crewsThe town did not accept the hardship to convert a commercial unit to a residential unit.

I'd also like to eventually be tracking projects completed, how we did it. and as we grow i want to be able to add information for funds as we start them or how investors can get on board with syndication deals. 

We thought we'd be be bringing the money back into the HELOC after each deal, but honestly you should build momentum fast and eventually that HELCO will just be equity in your rentals and you'll be paying more for it than if it was a fixed fully amortized loan option.

You won't be able to refi since any equity you'd want to convert to cash, would only increase your monthly payment, and turn you measly positive (actual negative waiting to happen) cash flow into always negative cash flow.

Therefore, I go to events to network with the intent of eventually partnering up with a partner with the same values and vision.

I've had one unit that required several repairs in the first two years and then was eventually replaced.

Some HOAs don't allow you to, and others have a limit as to how many in a neighborhood can be rented.Second zoning: are you allowed to convert your property to a two family.  

We've helped many get started or convert homes to STRs.

Trying to get a good idea for comps as well as possibly converting single-family into a duplex.
