I am selling a house right now that all the comps ACTIVE were showing much higher than the sold.

@Keith Angell I'd say you are on the right track with the HELOC. 

Quote from @Garrett Brown: What is your biggest pain point with STRs right now?

@Reno Philip Welcome and you are in the right place and you are on the right track. 

Has anyone come across their property management company creating a "First right of refusal program" for maintenance requests? 

Does anyone have any tips on how to find the right guys or methods that you use to vet people? 

What’s your vision for your next property - do you see yourself leaning towards value-add projects, or are you focusing more on turnkey options?

I'll be specifically looking to start in the Cincinnati, Ohio and lean towards targeting buy and hold single family and potentially multi family as well.Any advice is appreciated and I look forward to connecting. 

Also I understand the funds aren't available for the improvements so that is another obstacle that has me leaning towards price reductions to move on as soon as possible.The exit of lower tier SFH's is something very few investors care to consider when making their investments but deserves far more consideration. 

It is in an enclosed gate area that can only be opened from inside the fence so I'm leaning away from using it as storage space while I have other guests staying there.
