We currently own/manage properties across a few states including Hawaii so we aren't new to managing short term/mid term rentals.

for fix and rental projects or for fix and flips?

McKinney is thriving, but so are other parts of North Texas, and a broader perspective could reveal other great opportunities.Here’s what I’ve observed managing a significant number of rentals in the area:Bedrooms and Layouts:3-bed, 2-bath homes consistently attract the largest pool of tenants and have the highest occupancy rates.4-bedroom homes have grown in demand, especially with the rise of remote work, as tenants look for extra space to use as a home office.Square footage is less critical than number of beds and baths.Supply and Demand:McKinney’s growth is driving demand, but the quality of the location matters greatly.

I would love to get a condo down in Miami to have a as a forever rental, but it's just so hard for me to pull the trigger.

Quote from @James Hampton: How about a quick check before you have to charge a screening fee? 

In my estimation it takes 2-5 years before a rental is broken in and feels like a good investment. 

How have you made that decision for your prior primary residence to rental properties?

rentals are split between 3 LLCs.

I am a newer investor with a duplex and living in a SFH to eventually be a rental.

I have a rental property I put on the market for rent, do you guys have or know where to get a yearly lease agreement I can use in Phoenix, AZ?
