For STR, AirDNA is the most popular option of course, but the pricing model per city is rough (if it's still like that).

A few months ago I recall seeing a new email about Airbnb partnering with apartments in select cities where the apartments and city already pre-approved the ability to short term rent.

I like starting small so maybe a food truck in 10 or so years :)I'm currently looking for investors to do what you did except focusing on commercial residential property in Kansas City.

I have property here in San Antonio as an active duty member as well and there are over 10k properties listed for rent in the city.

If it does not qualify for the EPP, then the project must go through the city’s standard building permit process.

I've been hearing a lot of people re-fi'ing 3 mos after purchase.....at Brew City REI Club's last event, a lender said he could re-fi off appraised the day after purchase but you'd have to show that you did repairs. 

San Diego’s average house hold income is about what you stated, but the median is a surprisingly low (considering US news and world report lists it as the most expensive US city) ~$100k.  

Keep in mind rent control is 1 thing, its a laws for existing tenants but some city's like Newark are so strict that you must get approval for what rent can be even after a tenant moves out and new ones move in. 

@Yun Han what city is your rental in?
