Can you give the forum a few numbers on your existing properties, including estimated values, current loan balances, current rent on the duplex and expected rent on the SFH?

Those stilled cashflowed mostly due to insanely low interest rates.3) Investors started chasing Class C rentals in 2022 when Class B rental prices AND higher mortgage rates didn't allow cashflow at purchase.4) Investors are now chasing Section 8 tenants as the cure-all for Class C tenant performance issues, so their Class C properties ACTUALLY cashflow.

For connecting with local resources like mortgage brokers, investors, and agents, the Austin Real Estate Investors Association (REIA) is a great starting point.

I recently looked at an existing STR, but either the seller did not track the expenses or they did not want to provide them. 

Why are you starting a new thread when you posted this same stuff on an existing thread? 

The downside is that these types of properties come with high property values, meaning a large mortgage.

But, the self-sufficiency test for FHA loans can be really difficult in SF, meaning that the market rent from units you will not occupy must be sufficient to pay for the mortgage payment. 

To me, having one mortgage payment for 2 - 4 houses (basically) always seemed interesting and like something that would give me more bang for my buck. 

I'm a mortgage lender and investor located in St.

The outcome was a beautifully furnished home in a prime location with a low mortgage that generates consistent cash flow.
