Unit 3 - mid-term rental (this would be best for the most private unit as most mid-term renters are more concerned with privacy and creature comforts than amenities)4.

We were being transferred to that area and went up to look at a couple different homes in the area and that one came up that day, and we made a full asking offer immediately.

An experienced agent will list your property with the language, "no showings until an accepted offer", to avoid violating your tenant's rights to the peaceful enjoyment of their home - possibly resulting in their lack of cooperations and a lawsuit against you.

I am most comfortable with long-term rentals, but I would like to try a flip or two to build my capital.

Basically, what these guys did to some of our Real Wealth Network members allegedly is:- GEG showed RWN some of the properties they had renovated and leased out to prove their business model- They told our members via a webinar that they buy, renovate and sell rental properties below market value to investors with 8% cash flow- They said they offer non-recourse financing at 50% LTVIn reality, GEG sold properties that were not always renovated - even if the price point reflected a renovation.

.: Quote from @Jefferey Eutsay: I'm considering making an offer on a 36-unit multi-family property.

I've only ever sent out an offer like that once, and that was to a preforeclosure lead that refused to discuss the property, instead telling me "that's not how real estate works, just make me an offer".  

That said, the fewer units a property has, the easier it is to manage, so smaller multifamily properties can offer a good balance between cash flow and simplicity.

That said, Texas tends to offer more affordable housing than Florida’s coastal towns, so your money might go further if you’re buying properties for yourself and your portfolio.When it comes to family life, Texas has tons of family-friendly suburbs with excellent schools.

Holding properties in an LLC (or other legal entity) can offer valuable protection for your personal assets, so I understand why you went that route.
