Beautiful scenery on the water and the mountains though.

Also these types of properties are more like running a business than owning property, so unless you have a commitment to true hospitality, have the ability to run it professionally, decorate it beautifully, and have a very clear picture on who your ideal guest is, I would not acquire or attempt an STR.

The beauty of that is every penny you pay each month to pay the HELOC is tax-deductable.

They aren't beautiful but are fairly inconspicuous.

A community within a community - just like Biggerpockets.That is the beauty of JV partner, affiliate and partnering together. 

Using hard money lenders, on the purchase of the property and part of soft costs, and a construction loan through a local bank to fund the construction, I purchased a plot of land in Scarsdale, NY and built this beautiful 5 BR, 6 Bath, 5,408 Sq.

Scarsdale is beautiful and of the wealthiest areas in the USA! 

They're WONDERFUL for cheap cooling and beautiful for heat at 30 degrees and higher, but most have told me even the brand new ones struggle below 10 degrees and they cost more to run than old fashioned electric below a certain temp.

Thank You @Jeremy England,The numbers are legit they are lower income section 8 properties some of which are beautifully recently remodeled.

I've been visiting friends in Oroville lately and the downtown is adorable - there are some beautiful homes there!
