I'm working on getting a cash out refinance on a Rental property.

but i've run into several issues when I apply for HELOC1. the home is a a rental and the banks/credit unions don't allow HELOCS on rental properties2. as mentioned the property is in the Northwest and I live in the southwest.

Look at rentals in the area and see how many have this, because that is a big way to increase bookings. - Color.

I grouped all the random stuff I bought throughout the year for the rentals (everything from garage door track lubricant to disposable work gloves, etc, etc) into general materials and split equally between the 6 units.

In your long-term rentals, which do you prefer and why? 

Does your location require those features to meet the expectations of full market rental value? 

Exploring alternative revenue streams, such as short-term rentals or mixed-use developments, can increase cash flow and diversify income sources.

Why is it that most “authorities” that ban STR (or heavily regulate) decide to ban or regulate rental “30 days or less”?  

Between those rentals we will list it on Airbnb for vacationers. 

Don't buy too expensive of a home and you will be able to do it again next year and turn your first into a rental.
