From my understanding, based on my experience buying and selling properties in Texas, any known repair or damage—even if resolved—should still be disclosed, along with a note explaining that it was fixed.

If something happens to the country and foreigners leave, you won't be able to sell.

The property is selling for 224k.

Quote from @Devin James: When running numbers on an investment property, I focus more on equity growth than monthly cash flow.Here’s why:If I can acquire a property at a low basis and add significant value, I can: 1) Sell and reinvest elsewhere 2) Cash-out refinance to recapture my investment.

I do not want to sell because my profits after closing costs will be about $15K.

Have you considered a flat fee MLS listing as a way to gauge interest and possibly sell?

The study could also identify the opportunity to capture additional benefits such as dispositions, and repair and maintenance expenditures.

If you are very conservative purchase a fixer upper so you can force equity and hopefully have a low enough payment so that you can LTR the property or even sell for profit should the STR avenue not work. 

When you sell the property, and access the equity in the form of liquid cash, you make your profit. 

I feel this gives me the flexibility to find the right solution for my client and not just sell what my bank offers.I'll also throw in my 2 cents on common differences I've seen in my career:CDFIs - Because of their subsidized financing structure, they have the ability to be a low cost lender (and sometimes provide grants).
