If STR, what about MTR, or LTR as a fail safe?

I can put up with a 1-hour work commute or a little more if it means having a house in a decently safe area.Other Info:Credit Score: 700s (due to student loan payments)Monthly Income: $4600Work Location: I commute to Northern Virginia and D.CGuys, I could really use your help or recommendations on what you would do if you were in my situation:Location: I'm thinking somewhere in PG County MD due to my commute, like Hyattsville MD.

@Phil SheltonYou would need a civil engineer to provide a drawing to get submitted to zoning and get a permit if it passes zoning is most common This also depends on the road - if it’s a state road forget it as it will take a year to get approved and cost a fortune - if it’s a local road process not as cumbersome but don’t expect this to happen quicklyIn some instances you may have to prepare sight distances etc to make sure it’s safe to add a curb cut

@Fareen E. as long as you don't violate Fair Housing and are CONSISTENT, you can do whatever.If you require an ID from EVERYONE, you are safe.

Better to be safe than sorry.Additionally, do you all generally use a smaller income criteria if the rent is inclusive of utilities?

However, i've never really seen the logic in taking those paths when you can just take the safe and slow approach. 

We do attempt to notify the owner before we make the decision and give them the opportunity to give input but keeping the property and tenant safe, and following the Tenant Landlord Laws are more important than getting permission. 

Any part fo Texas you might recommend that are safe?

You might have to dig into off-market deals, though, since inventory is tight.Multi-Family: Always a safe bet if you can snag a good deal.

Hope you’re enjoying your stay in Malta travel safe and happy new year.
