. - I asked for 3 months' bank statements and have about 20k liquid- 16 derogatory remarks on credit report- (I feel dumb for even asking considering this)Here is the kicker:- they own a restaurant and already said "How would you feel if there were occasional workers that stayed here?"

I currently own a property there but it is rented out so when I am back for the offseason I end up staying with my parents and get the occasional Airbnb if I need some space.

Arlington has a very strict area near the entertainment district for STR and requires registration.https://www.arlingtontx.gov/city_hall/departments/planning_d...Haslethttps://ecode360.com/41493162I like Haslet, but not sure there are any demand drivers for STR other than maybe the occasional race at the TMS.

I dont understand how this even happens, does she occasionally open up her front door and and fling a diaper on the property?)

But my clients are gaining 20k in profit plus per deal and or equity if they refi to pay me off.. some deals dont work though and I end up being the only one making money it happens occasionally but thats on the borrower to know their market and such.

Annoying tenants, late payments, occasional not paying, leaving and leaving the house a mess, bad contractors, bad PMs, etc...there's an extent of that, that is "normal". 

I also flip houses, but that is more on an occasional basis.
