Also, no counties in Texas prohibit long term rentals.

Quote from @Ven Bud: After hearing to lot of bp episodes on negative cash flow, I have a question.I am currently living in my primary residence and planning to purchase an investment property, and obviously it is going to be a negative cashflow (bay area), but I am of the opinion that as long as the rent on the investment property is atleast going to be greater than my current primary residence mortgage it can still considered as positive cash flow investment.The investment property is going to be in a much better location (for office commute, bay area proximity) than my primary residence.

You have to define what long term means for you.

I would try not to tie up any of the principal in down payments.Personally, I had a family member do this same thing, but they used an investment portfolio as the collateral instead of real estate.If you play your cards right, this might be the only short-term money you ever need.Please let us know what you end up doing.

I'm interested in flipping, and short-term rentals at the moment to build good cash flow, then pivot into more of a buy-and-hold/appreciation play 10-15 years from now.

@Olivia Blake what you are running into is a tenant how has been a long term tenant.

Property values here have a steady history of growth, making it a reliable market for long-term investment.2.Tenant-Friendly Laws: While this might seem like a challenge for landlords, tenant-friendly laws create a stable rental market.

Try not to get locked in too long 4. we're not necessarily looking to go "all out" in terms of theming, but if we did, what kind of revenue does that bring/ROI can you expect, and which Renos for theming are best to do from a cost-benefit analysis, and what do they typically cost?

I just been nervous to do them.If you’re getting 10% down on lease option, all I can say is you have a special ability to get good down payment payments.

All a mid-term rental is someone staying not permanently but longer than on vacation.
