 You should try renting the home out with furniture if you have the budget to do it. Will increase cash flow much more.

 Well said Alejandra! And good luck to you Matt

Well said James! 

Make it a 30 day minimum rental and it's not considered short term.

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) 

Good luck Jesus! You have the right idea

The forum title is a 10/10 

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
