Stay out of Endsley that's the worse area.Watch out for those turnkey products.

You also have two major holidays coming in the US (Thanksgiving and Christmas and construction will slow down as people take time off).

to be honest there are some lenders that do it but it falls out the majority of the time 

We had a major blow when last year mold was brought to our attention , that as a 20,000 remediation that had to be dealt immediately.

Or, at least the company's offering them in other states think Texas law would not look kindly on the product so as you point out they do not offer in Texas. 

You may be shocked to find just how NOT all that "up north" we are in comparison to other major cities/markets that are even further up north.

@Greg GarzaOver the past three years, I’ve been using most of the major off-market techniques.One standout method has always been pulling data and feeding it into a call center to generate off-market leads.

My target purchase price is no more than $410K, aiming for an ARV in the $530K to $570K range.I'm comfortable with small to medium-sized renovations that don't require major structural changes or additional square footage.

I finally got down to analyzing deals, working with a realtor, etc. but I’m having a hard time investing in an STR when I know the returns I get from investing in more product in my business is exponentially more and quicker turnaround.

This is a major reasons bay area investors look in the midwest in faster growing cities.
