As far as the bedbug cost, I would consider how long you are willing to let the place sit empty. 

I need long-term renters as a back up.I saw a basement apartment for rent in LauriaVille in a gorgeous remodeled home that’s been listed for $1050  It’s been sitting there a couple months and that concerns me because that’s not a lot of money for quite a bit of space in a great house.It’s been sitting there a couple months and that concerns me because that’s not a lot of money.

Quote from @Alan David: i HAVENT MENTIONED THEIR PRACTICE OF WITHHOLDING ANY FUTURE EARNINGSON THE INVESTMENTS ONCE YOU MAKE A DISTRIBUTION REQUEST, IN MY CASE THAT IS TWO YEARS( SO FAR) WITH THE FUNDS JUST SITTING IN MY ACCOUNT DOING NOTHING.i IMAGINE IF THEIR FUND HAS A LOSS i WOULD BE  SUBJECT TO THAT TOO.  

Put up at least 25 of them to start in high traffic areas where cars will be sitting, such as stop lights at busy intersections.

I’ve done both to grow from 2 paid off STR and now have 29 SFR by using equity that was sitting there doing absolutely nothing for me to buy more and more with 20% down.

Then I get guests who are thrilled to book a big 7-BR house for say, $600/night while competing properties sit empty. 

The MTR angle for traveling nurses got too saturated, STRs are like sitting ducks here.The people that are giving you advice on this thread clearly don't know Houston, and don't know what Eado/3rd ward attracts.

I’ve had this happen to me many times, the agent would reply in minutes saying the seller rejected the offer that’s weird is the client sitting at the agents desk and telling them at the spot???

Time to invest in a company that is picking up the bones of these current crop of syndicators that are hemeroging their assets.

But after a flip, you will probably sit on the market for a while depending on the location approximate nearest city.
