@Kyle TrotmanI would suggest speaking to local banks, and credit unions.

If I was local to the property I would be more okay with it rather than if I was investing in older in a different state.

Also 4th quarter of last year Packwood and county officially did discuss potentially regulating STR's by either limiting numbers or adding a tax to cover increases in local services that are needed. 

Having a reliable local team, including a property manager and a realtor familiar with the market, is the best way to avoid high-crime areas.If you’re leaning towards Richmond or have more questions about the market here, feel free to reach out.

Thanks,DJ @Donald DiBuono if you still need development help after speaking with Samuel I teach people how to become the local developer in their community.

I’m looking to connect with those of you who are actively using or interested in the BRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) strategy to scale your rental portfolios.Whether you’re new to BRRR or a seasoned investor, I’m here to discuss best practices, potential local opportunities, and ways we can collaborate to make your investments efficient and profitable.

I had a real estate agent here local that probably sold 15 or so of our properties over a number of years.

Pricing in DFW probably means you wont live rent free,and will have to pay your fair share of normal rent, but you also get 3 more people contributing to your loan paydown and you get to keep the appreciation.Buy hey...maybe I'm wrong....go talk to a local bank or credit union near where you live and get a term sheet from them for financing. 

All are local to me in a non-vacation rental spot.

Focus on identifying promising neighborhoods in the north or east bay by leveraging your husband’s contractor network, local real estate agents, and online deal-finding platforms.
