Many distributors also offer financing and can give you an idea of what monthly loan payment you’d be looking at.

One of my early properties barely broke even, but after a couple of years, rent hikes and expense optimization turned it into a strong performer.For cash flow benchmarks, I usually aim for $200-$300 per unit, but your situation.. house hacking.. offers unique benefits like reduced living expenses and quicker equity buildup.

When you buy a property with the intention to Airbnb Househack, you can find a better layout to make it more separate / private but start with what you have, Get temporarily uncomfortable so that you have a comfortable future.

The biggest challenge seems to be finding lenders that offer these loan products which is where I’m looking for help from the community with recommended lenders that serve Texas.The Fannie Mae (or Freddie Mac) options are preferred over FHA purely because of the (perhaps perceived) limit on renovation funds that the FHA option provides.

Quote from @Zach Howard: @Robby SanchezThanks for the offer - actually Texas is one of the places where I've started to look at potential properties and so on.

The cleaning company I use started offering hot tub service about a year after I got the salt water tub and I took them up on it. 

It offers little protection against negligence but good protection for contract disputes.

My company also offers premier vacation rental management services as we recently expanded our services to MTRs because of the apparent need for management services in the sector.  

I'm just hoping someone with actual knowledge of it can provide some information that offers an alternate explanation.

You'll see some familiar names thrown around a lot: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend you search for each app online and see what they offer, how much they charge, etc.
