Many BP podcasts investors talk about having a HELOC based on a portfolio of properties - I have yet to find a lender/bank that does this and looking for help. Looking to tap into my portfolios equity without refi'ing...

And my response is always that first you need to know the Airbnb laws, because there are some areas that do really well ... but only people grandfathered in under old rules are allowed to do short-term rentals.First Know Thy Laws!

STRs are more regulated, LTRs are predictable but slow, and MTRs hit the sweet spot:-Steady cash flow without daily turnover-Professional tenants (corporates, nurses, relocations)-Flexibility for scalingThat said, it only works if you:-Know your tenant type-Furnish for function, not style-Price monthly, not nightlyFor those running MTRs: are you seeing the same benefits?

There’s an important nationwide rule taking effect March 1, 2026 that will impact many cash and entity-based residential transactions.

We owned 54 houses together at one time he bought me out of most of those a decade ago. 1% rule seemed to be where B ham goes as well as 10% COC for outside investors.. 

Was the property built before or after the permitting rules went into place? 

I'm wondering if we chose to use the equity would people recommend out of state investment(I'm from Michigan so have some connections there)or in market and keep our current as a rental and try to roll equity into DP on a larger home and do flip's like 1031 style? 

Before selling at a loss, I’d also explore small levers like HOA-rules-permitting midterm rentals, employer housing, or optimizing lease terms to push rent slightly higher.

Hey BP community,

I came across an interesting property and wanted to get some outside perspective before I move further.

It’s a single-family home that’s been converted into a 6-unit pad split. Each unit has it...
