But after working with the family, we purchased it for $42,000 and got to work.We had some unique challenges, like dealing with one of the heirs who wasn’t very cooperative and required a payoff to sign the paperwork we needed for clear title.

I would like to start connecting with lenders, attorneys, realtors, title companies, and all other professional in the SATX commercial real estate market.  

Some design and amenity ideas:+ Welcoming living space with plush seating for family hangouts+ Coffee bar or stocked tea station for early mornings before campus events+ Dining table or breakfast nook perfect for family meals+ Dedicated workspace for parents who need to check in on workFor sports fans, tap into their game-day energy and make your STR the go-to spot for a fun, convenient stay:+ Big, comfortable seating & a great TV setup (think oversized couch, streaming sports channels)+ Game-day essentials like a mini fridge stocked with game-day snacks/drinks+ Outdoor space with a grill & seating for pre- or post-game gatherings+ Good parking (sports fans hate scrambling)+ Team spirit decor touches (subtle, not tacky—think framed sports prints, not full-on mascot murals)Your design & reviews will do most of the marketing but to market directly to these guests:🎯 List your STR on sites where parents and alumni book (if allowed)🎯 Partner with local businesses—coffee shops, sports bars, or tailgate services—where your ideal guests hang out🎯 Optimize your listing title and description with phrases like “Perfect for Visiting Parents & College Game Days”🎯 Time any discounts/promotions around major campus events—homecoming, graduation, big rivalry gamesThink of it this way, you’re not just offering a place to stay—you’re creating an experience they’ll want to book again and again.

As the title says, I have mixed feelings about this project.

If so how would that work with the title?

I can send you a free guest pass to our general meeting next week and you can network with a couple hundred local investors and meet all kinds of vendors with hard money, private money, trades, title and wholesalers.

•Instead of transferring the title, consider using strong landlord insurance, an umbrella policy, or a land trust (with your LLC as the beneficiary) for added liability protection.Your FHA Loan Potential for Another Property•Since your first home is already a rental but was likely purchased with an FHA loan, you may still be eligible for another FHA loan—but only if you meet one of these conditions:•You relocate at least 100 miles away from your current home.

And yes, you are still responsible for wiring earnest money to the closing attorney/title company when you put the property under contract.

We typically do not buy from wholesalers due to their inflated price tag. 

But, you need to talk directly to the person whose name is on title.
