That's looking at it through a narrow lens though, when you zoom out to 5-10-15 years down the road and calculate the difference, in my experience the appreciation has been far more beneficial than the $200 difference per month in cash flow from a different market.

Hindsight and a few decades of experience has taught me that with a good lawyer I would have been in the clear completely.

You'll likely need a higher down payment if you can find anyone willing to finance something like this as a first time investor; many require some level of rehab experience at the very least.

Is anyone investing in texas (in long-term rentals) that knows about this and has experience with this?

Does anyone have any experience with short term rentals in PCB?

From my experience working with over 400 investors, financing your first deal with minimal out-of-pocket expenses is entirely possible, you just need the right strategy.

There's a lot of pitfalls there that you're probably not going to be aware of without experience. 

But my experience over the last 10 years of building new homes is that NOTHING comes down might stay the same but will rise almost annually Like Cement always goes up in Jan. 

This experience proves that even with challenges, strategic renovations and persistence can lead to a profitable outcome.

Anyone else have experience with this?
