Hey Core I like to use Texas Red Interiors and the Staging Company. I can message you direct contacts for them if you'd like to reach out.

Yes I created mine and never really used it. It was easier to just do direct payment. 

But I recently lost my Airbnb sSperhost status for lack of bookings so now I'm back to the platform for the time being haha. Superhost status is probably overrated too but I like the badge of honor.

Hey Matthew what price range are you looking at?

If the price range is $250-350

I would look on the northwest side or northeast side. I also like Schertz and Cibilo (just need to be careful with the foundation and checking it during the inspection period). There's huge potential for appreciation and cash flow in those areas.

Northwest - (Near UTSA, Medical Center, Rim, Leon Springs, Helotes)

Northeast - (anything in the Reagan or Johnson school district. Thousand Oaks, Stone Oak, Encino Park, Bulverde, etc) 

Schertz/Cibilo (not far from military bases, easy access to Austin/New Braunfels, up and coming/ many new nice neighborhoods) 

If the price range is  $175-250, I would look near Sea world and the west side. (Potranco, Castroville, Redland, etc)

I believe you both have to live in the home for 2 of the last 5 years in order to qualify for the nontaxable $500K

It will probably be difficult to find one that specializes in MTR, since it's not as common. Maybe going with someone that does STR.

I like options 1 or 2, if you don't feel that being a landwork isn't too difficult of a process. You have more potential to gain equity through appreciation with multiple homes than one commercial property. I think commercial is great if you can find the right deal, but it can also be a pain in the *** just like single family.

New modern lights and ceiling fans, quality furniture, Big screen TVs (not so expensive anymore), big washer and dryer, one of those cool refrigerators.

If you ever go stay in a nice hotel or nice airbnbs, try to pick up on some of the things they do to make it feel luxurious.
