I wasn’t trying to be long winded, with too much detail, in my initial post but I actually did this method on a fix and flip.

Don't get me wrong, these types exist, but they don't last LOL. 

@Jaycee Greene I think if I did a long term rental it would rent between $2k and $2.3K.

The hurricane exacerbated the already long permitting timelines but the city was working on hiring more inspectors and others in the building department to keep up with the building boom we've seen over the last several years. 

Its being operated at STR from last 30 months with great cash flow.

The city where you invest determines all long-term income characteristics.

Narrow the list down then, last step is make the time and go tour them. 

Hey @John FriendasI have purchased 4 of my Co-Living (rent by room) properties with DSCR, 1 of them within the last few months.Not that I necessarily recommend this, but there are short-term-rental DSCR products.

I'm born and raised in Houston and now work with a full service long-term rental management managing over 300 doors - all SF or MU (up to 4 unit).

I would venture to say very few landlords correctly hold their deposits based on local landlord/tenant law but as long as the money doesn't walk away and is not wrongly withheld from tenants its highly unlikely wrongfully storing the funds will become problematic.
