A good sign of an agent is how much business they are doing on the purchase and sale side. 

Congrats on your first duplex purchase!

So it was 153k for the purchase and 40k for the rehab, I had to come up with the rest. 

I am looking to purchase an extended stay hotel.

No qualifying and the ability to use your money to purchase something else?

Some rents in what some define as an A may hold strong values but rents compared to purchase price may not be comparable to a B.

I'm currently in single family homes and apartment buildings in central and west Texas but have been evaluating a few residential assisted living homes + business / license to purchase in Austin and San Antonio.

I recently purchased a 2 unit property as owner occupied with one unit already rented out. 3 months after closing, I was laid off due to a restructure at my company, so I decided to rent out the other unit my girlfriend and I planned to live in.

A purchase of $209k, $15k rehab, and ARV of $240k doesn't get you any thing back after you factor in all of the closing costs to purchase and to refinance.

The more that you talk the more potential buyers see what they are dealing with.Lori you purchased a property that was occupied.
