Just because a property doesn't measure up to a rule of thumb doesn't mean it's a bad deal. 

In hindsight I can see all the mistakes I made but...pura vida.I do my proformas and try to calculate returns but I don't measure the value of investments purely on these terms like some others who've responded to you.

If/when we aim our sights on the great state of Texas, Brad's program seems like a no brainer (it's also remarkable how many mentors/trainers are based in Texas, in general)

The other reason tax bills get stalled in Congress is that most bills combine multiple unrelated measures, usually serving various special interests.

Sometimes, I aim for closer to 75-80% if the deal has solid upside or lower rehab risk.

That kind of restriction just doesn’t work for someone like me.I’m trying to figure out if I might be missing something in how I’m approaching this or if others have insights or examples of towns that not only allow STRs but also have laws that offer enough flexibility to operate in the way I’m aiming for.Many towns technically permit STRs but impose restrictive rules like membership requirements, ownership duration limits, or rental day caps, making operations challenging.

Looking ahead, I’m aiming to start investing in long-term opportunities in Spring 2025.
