If you’re looking for short-term cash flow, you might need to explore nearby markets with lower entry costs and higher cash-on-cash returns, even if they aren’t as familiar to you.

I think it was Airbnb that had suggestions for me to lower my pricing because they were scanning the competition (Booking.com in that scenario) and saw a lower price.  

Which you want to lower?

They work for my mom because it is a lower commission split, I feel like I am struggling because I have no leads.

HELOC: A cash-out refinance could be more beneficial if you're looking for a lump sum to purchase the new property outright, particularly because interest rates may be lower than a HELOC.
