@Sean Minihan I always recommend you find a REI group near you that meets regularly.

I might not be very regular here but I'll continue to post about my experiences and learnings as we go.

My family does regular checks and some of the neighbors send me pictures. 

Would you then say AIO is better than the regular 1st position HELOC?

After much discussion with my regular contractor I got him to realize that if he does the project instead of subbing it out it will only cost me about $7K.

Regular properties are probably in a better position because people always need a place to stay, and if I'm not mistaken back during COVID if you had a tenant who couldn't work you could call your bank and pause the mortgage. 

Scott Scheel and Ray Alcorn are also very solid - I speak at their events regularly.

There are good deals to be found in any market and you want to have a deal that you can physically visit regularly.
