If you really have gone from 3 to 200 properties this past year while having a two W2 jobs, you seem to have found your niche and doing well, good for you. 

I don't know the city well, but seems to be light on demand drivers other than Baylor University. 

Interestingly, though, people who have experience with STRs seem more likely to pivot to the MTR strategy once they realize how much easier it is and how well the renters treat their units.

Happy to send some resources if you'd like to reach out.Hello travis,could you dm me these resources as well?

The Suburban markets with New construction offering decent builder buy-down rates 5s %, and selling completed inventory homes to investors is an opportunity we’re pointing investors to, as well as Duplexes outside the city, that’s where we’re finding some of the best options to get closest to positive cashflow with 20/25% down.

We have bought loans like this from existing lender as well as refinanced borrowers into a new IO loan. 

Overall I think the average hotel/motel is not doing well right now. 

I've had lenders offer products I didn't know were out there for buying certain types of properties as well.

If property values appreciate well, you might be sitting on a property that's worth a great deal more than todays ARV, especially if you can complete some of the repairs while your grandmother still lives there.

A contract with financing should work just as well to get more time.
