I'm in a few facebook groups with cabin owners in blue ridge and my neighborhood, and many are saying their bookings are way down year over year (some with no bookings at all), apparently due to the increase in short termrentals available.That being said, if you do buy something, I'd make sure it has some features that will set your cabin apart.

Purchase price: $204,000 Cash invested: $30,000 This deal was an almost brand new construction in an up and coming area on the outskirts of Houston, TX.

Go straight to apartments.

I'm not saying go for a full-blown apartment, but will sporadic cheap renters accomplish your goal?

I'm particularly passionate about North of Houston (Tomball, Conroe, Huntsville, etc)Outside of real estate, I enjoy reading, spending time with family, and camping! 

Half of the new construction in Phila (that had to be permitted) is falling apart due to negligence of contractor and inspectors. 

Not to mention that all their ROI calcs depend on cash flow of course so long term return calculations also fall apart. 

I am working with property manager now, we are only listing on Zillow and similar website such as Apartment.

Hey 1031 experts I have a scenario question for you.Bought an apartment building with a construction loan of $565,000.

My focus is small to mid sized apartment syndications if that matters.
