You always have to watch for scammers but they aren't that big an issue.

Even though the law does not require you to be at the first hearing you should be there.

So, they just stayed vacant.Income reliability is another major issue.

@Venecia BaezIf you can invest locally do that if not look elsewhere. 9 times out of 10 when people are stuck and unable to take action I usually see people worrying about things that either won't happen or aren't an issue.

But if your property is in good shape and you have reserves for unexpected issues it might be fine. 

The issue is that I see that every other Airbnb in the area has their first photo as their living area. 

But they had issued insurance on day I applied.

There in fact is no law in Texas saying you cannot have a HELOC on a non-owner occupied property.

I don't like AI descriptions (sorry @Andrew Steffens).They look and sound completely like it was written by a bot, which it was.I like to write my own copy for listings and I respond directly to all guests, inquiries and issues.

No pictures.One property we spot check because we are only an hour away.If we find issues or get cleaning complaints they are going to do better or we get a new cleaner.
