In hindsight I probably should have gotten an additional HVAC-specific inspection and tested the measurements for the actual washer/dryer space.

Are you focusing on any specific industry withing CRI?

The committees have never said they'll require a specific form of evidence to show that you've rented the place for at least a couple of nights.

Many of my investors who buy in Austin are specifically from the Bay Area.

I cannot assist w/ the acquisition of the property but do have an FHA product that is specific for home improvements.

Texas does have specific rules regarding home equity loans and cash-out refinancing (often referred to as "Texas Equity Section 50(a)(6)"), but these don’t prohibit homeowners from using funds for investment properties.

If you’re curious about specific markets in Florida, feel free to reach out.

What specific concerns or opportunities are you seeing in your market?

I think it's going to be location specific for sure; where I am very few people hang out in the house all day long as they are usually busy hitting the parks and attractions. 

Assumptions: specifically allowed in city ordinances, mobile home manufacturing in the area, or that someone heavily marketed that area as a retirement location in the past.
