When you say you have$150,000 available, is that for a down payment or the total purchase price of the investment? 

No financing available.2.

@David MartinezA quick search on furnishedfinder.com shows a bunch of available midterm rentals in that area so you can use those to help guide your price and strategy.

But to the point of this thread, no one can offer a "this is a good return" without knowing the structure and the potential risks involved.I think Jaycee hits on the general returns available in the market. 

My next question is what kind of cash do you have available? 

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

An 8% protected preferred return or a 10-12% target return. 3) Our passive note platform (Swell.investments) has yield from 8-20%. these are loans we have already originated and are available right now and we are happy to keep vs. matchmaking or crowdfunding where you only get to invest if the marketplace collects enough investor dollars or the matchmaker has a deal ready to fund (what you call whole trust deed investing).

House hacking a duplex would be my ideal situation, but I find it challenging to find anything available in the DFW area in my price range.

Every interaction they have with the tenant and you should be available online.

With good software available so readily I'd say nah, but you have a partnership with non-family.
