I am proud to have achieved Super host status on Airbnb for the past year and have received hundreds of positive reviews across various platforms and through word of mouth.Key highlights of my rental operation:Vetting Process: I ensure all clients are thoroughly vetted, maintaining a strict no-party policy to protect property integrity and community peace.Strong Relationships: I am respected by the Landlord Management Team, consistently ensuring both the clients and the management are satisfied.Operational Expertise: Leveraging my operational experience from my time in the United States Army, O&G Manager and as a seasoned operator in the Houston bar scene, I run a smooth and efficient rental operation.I am now looking to acquire additional properties in the Houston area to expand my rental portfolio.

But even though we plan to hold the property the reality/risk of not being able to pull equity or sell easily later on without maybe a land contract is kind of concerning?

So I expanded my search area these days to house hack.Here are things I learned last a few weeks.- Duplexes are generally in a better neighborhood to stay with family than fourplex.- Fourplex usually has B to C neighborhood but should cashflow better.- Austin has been bubbled and not a market for cashflow.

They will often voluntarily come up with increased security deposits, easily accept month-to-month rental contracts, and find other ways to work with you.

I have checked with the City to ensure that if I were to purchase property, I would still be allowed to operate as a park and expand. 

For me, it's easily the coolest city in the state, and it's not even close.  

I think you should try to expand to other markets as well.

@Heather Hall, I like how quickly and easily these DSCR lenders can close.  

@Rick ImIf you are putting in $180k cash you should easily be able to get a $110k loan for the property through a hard money lender to complete the work then refinance into a long term loan.

Then in a year I would move back to Nevada or to another multi unit home in Utah.I do not have a significant income but his income would easily cover both mortgages.
