Southlake probably never was, Frisco if you bought 10+ years ago probably has done well. 

We bought it because it is a beautiful property in solid location and I wanted to learn the STR model.

The house we just bought is in cabarrus county and currently 1300 sqft with a 200 sqft breezeway.

There was an STR boom when many people bought homes here thinking they could have passive income, but that is not the case here as much as it is in places like Asheville (which is still seasonal, but not as much).

It's a fun story and it's how I got interested in notes.I bought a vacant, land locked (no easement) lot at tax deed auction (Washington is a deed state). 

About 5 years ago one of the sellers we bought a multi family from told us about a company that has a lot of landlords like us and we coshare insurance coverage.

Quote from @Samuel Hudson: Hello friends I am new the market and recently bought a home in Weehawken 6 months backs .Its a three family home and we are currently doing renovations Right now.The rent leveling board told me that two units would have to follow a rent of 1650 for unit 1 which has three bedrooms and another unknown amount for unit 2 which they don’t have the information for .The previous seller I purchased the property from bought it as a tax lien .He has kept the property vacant for two years with no tenants before selling it to me .However ,the previous Owner he bought it from must have had tenants .I am putting in a lot of money into renovations and want some clarity on the situation I am in .The property has been vacant for the two years and currently still is as we are doing renovation .It would be really appreciated if anyone can assist me on what information needs to be provided by from the previous seller for me to be able to set the rent based on the market value .Thank you . 

Quote from @Rita Merlo: I bought reit shares from rad based on recommendations from boxabl  where I'm also invested.

I bought vacant land, built a spec home and sold it to an end user.

I have a 10x8 shed that I use exclusively to store real estate materials and supplies.
