I would be interested to hear from investors in areas like Arlington or Dallas proper where it has really locked down on STR regulations and hear how their transition to MTR has gone for them. 

For your strategy to work you have to focus on markets where there are strong indicators the C neighborhood can transition into a B neighborhood.

Often, the key to transitioning successfully is starting small, perhaps with a mixed-use property or something that doesn't require a steep initial learning curve. 

Nice transition. 

A few examples:PMI if you put down less than 20%HOA fees or budgeting for your own maintenance costsZillow Estimates: I found Zillow can underestimate costs, so I add a bit more to their numbers to get a realistic idea.Hope the process is going smoothly for you!

I knew a developer before the exception for being near mass transit planned to build 4 units but was only able to build 3 units.  

We arranged movers for both his belongings and the seller’s, ensuring a smooth transition for all involved.Once he was out, we completed the final walk-through with our cash buyers, who were eager to close.

I have another long term tenant in a different property and that runs smoothly.

Additionally, you make no mention of transitioning to MTR the tax year following  when a cost segregation was done.Your comments?

Currently finishing up a house hack and am going to be transitioning to building my rental portfolio.
