What type of properties are you most interested in, SF, 2-4 MF, or 5+ MF?

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I bet we would have made around $100k as a wholesale.

Unless you are unknowledgable, my bet is you could make more from rent than sale, and still have the benefits of owning the original home while you go do something else.The 25K you have left in property will be netting you(gross) of $350 mo or 4200 per year.

Airbnb gives you the best bet at getting both. 

Super cool idea I think - win-win for everyone, you make extra $, cleaner makes extra $, guest gets what they want and can have a unique memorable experience.Opens the door for lots of different "package" types What's the downside?

They will also dictate the terms of the loan, how it's filed, qualifications, etc.However, if you mean PML as in your friends/family that have NO experience in real estate and just have money sitting around...then I would certainly to counsel you to lean on some type of mentor or other experienced investor in Houston on what to do. 

The article is off because it is comparing two different types of buyers.  

That type of property is ideal. 

Regardless of how a certain asset class is doing, an investor like yourself can ALWAYS find a good deal in any type of property.Now, my general suggestion for all of my CFO clients is the gradually move up the unit spectrum/asset type as you build up your portfolio.
