@Elisha JohnstonFrom my experience, San Antonio is a great market for cash flow, with entry-level homes typically ranging from $200K to $250K and steady appreciation around 3-5% annually.

We typically do not lock our cars.  

Typical retail lots sold on the market for $55-60k a piece, an off market lot from a wholesaler usually come in around $45k a piece.

Typically  issues are raised when the exterior is not kept up with / parking on grass / garbage in neighborhoods where everyone takes pretty good care of their homes.If you keep it clean and run a tight ship, you should be okay most of the time.

But this also typically requires existing relationship before they will start bending their "standard" underwriting rules.

But typically impact fees are related to water & wastewater services, or a traffic impact fee. 

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

However, the approval process can be pretty tough, especially if you're working on a larger project or have a shorter timeline.Private Lenders: These options are typically much faster and more flexible, which is key when scaling development projects.

I'm only guessing but based on what some of the local project managers were saying is that a typical family of four that was paying for a three bedroom cabin decided they could get by with a one or two bedroom with a loft or a pullout sofa so the demand from the larger ones went up. 

You'll typically find that travel nurses want a 13 week term as that is the most common length of their contracts.
