Hi Joan - Not sure your question here but if you are able to provide more info, I may be able to provide some insight.

We have had brief discussion regarding general Q&A information, and proceeded to provide an ARV price range that would be very attractive to me. 

@Kevin M Dobyns-Do they provide commercial loans for rentals or buy to live for a certain amount of time then list it as rental?

You manage the headache of guests and communication, cleaning, etc. and he provides the property, but shares in the expenses and profits.

The biggest challenge seems to be finding lenders that offer these loan products which is where I’m looking for help from the community with recommended lenders that serve Texas.The Fannie Mae (or Freddie Mac) options are preferred over FHA purely because of the (perhaps perceived) limit on renovation funds that the FHA option provides.

Last but not least....A few members in replies have already mentioned why it makes sense to hold…….I very much appreciate ALL FEEDBACK, however I think it will be helpful to provide some added context as to why I am absolutely certain (and my CPA’s are convinced as well) on my decision to liquidate the entire portfolio and onceAs I educate clients on daily, income tax brackets as well as long term capital gain tax brackets in our country are more favorable right now than they've been at any point in the past 80 years.

These programs often assert to guide you step-by-step through the process, provide assistance with funding, and connect you with contractors.

I recently looked at an existing STR, but either the seller did not track the expenses or they did not want to provide them. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!
