My total resulting expenses for that home including rent profit and bills are roughly $1200/month.

Key is to not grow to fast and have $ set aside as it's never as fast or profitable as you think when getting started where in Texas are you looking to be a GC?

The area is very desirable, great schools, restaurants, shops and major airports close by. 12 mins from downtown St.

It would cost me only $2300 per month which includes rent utilities furnishing and property management. she showed me one example only of a customer who profited greatly.

hopefully your inspection went well. wish i would have seen your post earlier i would have been happy to help you out with your inspection. but to answer your question, there really isn't anything you need to "ask" your inspector to look for. if he is a good inspector he will know what to look for and what defects are major and should be addressed immediately and which defects are minor.

If it’s an older property or has deferred maintenance, you might want to lean toward the higher end.When it comes to CapEx (capital expenditures), planning for major replacements like roofs, HVAC systems, and appliances is key.

For many young Americans, buying a home has always been a major milestone—one that represents financial stability and long-term investment.

That said, when there are profits for both sides of the equation (borrowers & lenders), private investors/hard money lenders are more inclined to favor the project.

I like markets with diverse job drivers, and it is always helpful to have major corporations locally. 

Other towns have floated the idea of trying to regulate BnB's, but no major laws that I'm aware of have been passed.
