I want to know if I'm getting into something I am ok with, or something I too will want to get away from. 

I’d argue that a mix of custom and arcane, broker-serving laws sustains current practice, not market demand like for Delta tickets or Colgate toothpaste.

@Daniel Hartless for any condos that allow STR, you will not be able to get away with 10% down as a second home, because conventional loans do not allow financing for a short-term rental and will require a minimum of 20% down.

Lots of the items you listed are small ticket items that are a cost of doing business and owning rentals.

Small ticket items such as these, especially in the start of your landlord/tenant relationship, will go a long way. 

Balancing properties with strong cash flow and others with higher appreciation is a smart way to build a well-rounded portfolio.

We removed a chimney to open up the space and updated all the major ticket items—new electrical, HVAC, and roof.

As we have 100+ year old trees on the property, as well as a pond and year round stream, I think it could also be used for a tiny-home or tiny-office (commercial) community, which would allow me to maintain control of my property long term and providing recurring revenue to me (my company). 

Looking for advice on a creative finance deal in Round Rock.

I question if the lady knew she was caught and had someone return the packages on her behalf or if this was some innocent set of coincidences and maybe lady went up my street to getaway from whatever.I heavily lean toward porch pirate figured she was caught and what can she do?
