A few things you could consider:House Rules: Make sure you have clear, firm house rules for your STR guests regarding noise levels, shared spaces, and respecting the privacy of your LTR tenants.Noise-cancelling measures: You could invest in things like soundproofing the walls or adding landscaping (like thick bushes) along the privacy fence to further dampen any noise between units.Separate Access: If possible, ensure that the STR and LTR tenants have separate entrances or parking areas.

Keep in mind too, a lot of your bandit signs will get taken down by landscapers, business owners, other wholesalers, or the city.

I've also been pre-approved for a $125K HELOC against my current residence, which I plan to use for the rehab and landscaping.

Make sure you cover the roof, windows, sheds, landscaping-everything.

Be careful out there....some of the new builds are not comparable to the old builds....many of the newer ones are all siding, no brick, no light fixtures or ceiling fans...just LED recessed lighting...no doorbell, no garage door opener, no attic stairs, one piece tubs, vs tiled baths, no landscaping, no trees, and on and on....they've taken out virtually every single cost.
