I'm working on first STR purchase. Considering cash down payment versus HELOC draw for the down payment. Why I'd use cash is to avoid the HELOC payback (fixed 7.1%, 10/10, not yet tapped) and increased cash flow (no HELOC interest repayment) for the STR. On the other hand if I used the HELOC for down payment I preserve cash for to scale in near future and for rainy-day funds. Any suggestions?

I'm shopping for my first STR. Curious which sites folks are using for short term rental deal analysis. I'm currently using AirDna exclusively but have heard the analyzer data can be suspect and slightly overinflated. I tried Price Line but that didn't seem (to me) as useful or user friendly. I've heard Bnbcalc is decent but haven't tried it yet. Any suggestions and user experience insights would be super appreciated!

Can a holding LLC have a credit card and submit to sub llcs for reimbursement?

• Why do you want to save money on taxes? Retire from my W2 job and begin to move toward financial independence. • Where are you right now in your journey? We own a LTR (sold two in the past). Now looking to purchase our first STR. • What’s your #1 challenge right now? So the one thing that would make it easier for me to purchase my first STR is to find a calculator I'm confident is providing accurate CoC and cash flow projections for prospective STR property purchases. I've found and used three different calculators, all of which provide differing numbers which makes it difficult to have confidence in the purchase. If there's any suggestions out there would love to hear them!
