We wouldn't plan to sell the property anytime soon so I would think we could avoid the capital gains with it becoming our primary residence.Can you please elaborate on the partner idea? 

What do you think?

I'm not a realtor, but I think there are some fantastic values to be had in certain pockets of Fort WorthThanks so much!

I think we strayed a bit from the plan and probably put a little too much in.

A few questions and I think you'll get your answer.1) Can you actually rent this out as an STR?

Having professionals we can call to see how backed up they might be factors in as well - if we can't get a roof done ASAP, that holds everything else up if we have a leak so again, more time, more holding costs, lower ROI.Unfortunately I do not think there is a magic metric that can tell you if the deal is a winner or not. 

Hi @Sean Leahy - good direction, I've never considered this but now that I think about, whenever I've had some random rental/sale listings I've been approached by brokers who said they represent folks that are part of the insurance company's claim management process (e.g. their house burnt down due to an accident). 

I see their ads pop on my social media and I think there are some scare tactics. 

I think that is pretty cool.
