Chris, 

I don't have feedback for your question but curious what beach you have investments at.

I'm curious if any of you have any STR in the Galveston/Bolivar area. If so, how's it going? How long have you had your STR in the area, and is it in Galveston, or Bolivar?

Hello, BP

Many of you gave me some good advise on starting my STR journey and I have another question.

I'm looking for a "Property Launch Checklist" to make sure I'm thinking of everything. Does anyone have a checklist they're willing to share, or maybe a place I can find one? 

Thank you,

Quote from @Scott Davis:

I’m about to put in an offer on a beach property in Galveston and I have a few questions for the group and would love some feedback based on your experience.

1) What loan product should I look into? Is a DSCR loan something that works for a STR?

2) What type of insurance should I look into? Are there multiple types I should have on the home?

3) Should I buy the home in my LLC or personal name…and why?

4) Other than making sure it pencils out, anything else you feel is important for me to know before offering and finalizing the deal?

Please feel free to answer all or just the ones you feel comfortable answering.

I appreciate your help and assistance.


All of these questions make me think you don't have a Realtor who specializes in STRs, which is unfortunate (if true) as they would be able to guide you to tried and true recommendations. Even if they are NOT an STR specialist, I would reach out to them to see what and who they recommend.

Thanks, January.

I do have a realtor that has a couple STRs herself and works with several investors. I asked her the same questions. My point in asking the questions are to see how peoples experiences or responses vary to ensure I understand multiple opinions. 

Do you have any thoughts to the questions? I'm looking to see different points of view. 

Thanks,

Thanks for the great advice. I do have good credit (770) so I'll continue to look at all my options. And thanks for the advice on the insurance piece.

I’m meeting with an agent tomorrow about a 4-plex that’s already rented. What questions should I be asking to understand more about the property and if it makes sense to move forward?

Thank you!
