Airbnb's tend to have higher expenses than traditional rentals due to the higher management fees and covering all of the utilities.

A traditional refi has the least risk, the HELOC has the most.  

Traditionally, even in investing heavy careers like portfolio management and investment banking, the generalist model was the way go.

Hey @Kris Lawhead, a tip I picked up on BP podcasts was that if you only hold the note vs you and wife (if married), then you can get more loans....traditionally only allowed 4/person....if get them separately you can get 8 collectively. 

Would it ever make sense to seek traditional bank financing (assuming the property is financable), use a portion of your HELOC for a down payment and rehab expense.

@Stephen Akindona.That might the best "turnkey vs. traditional" investing reply I have ever seen.  

Speaking as a Norwegian who invest in both Norway and in the USA, I can give you some information on this topic.It is very unlikely that you will get a traditional mortgage in USA until you have a credit history for them to analyze.

Just google for Flat Fee MLS Listing and you should get at least a couple of good licensed Brokers that charge a flat fee ($99 to $500 depending on the company) to just list the property in the MLS for you (you must offer compensation to the buyer's agent though ... traditionally 3% but it is up to you to decide what is your best strategy - this becomes part of your marketing mix). 

As a Christian I find this concept unbiblical and lacking of justice or of “ fair scales” as the Bible calls .

Why not consider selling traditionally and including the infrastructure and personal property in the sale?
