In my experience this is the only way to go one or the other. financing a STR and trying to cash flow and appreciate is a crap shoot right now. 

In comparison to Scottsdale, these areas also offer more affordable entry points, making them ideal for investors seeking a combination of steady growth and manageable upfront costs.Given the projected numbers, Mesa and Gilbert’s combination of vibrant rental markets, better appreciation, and affordability make them stronger candidates for higher long-term returns compared to Pittsburgh.

They can make restitution part of the sentence, and it will stop her crap from harming people down the line.

Some lenders might offer more favorable terms if the property is part of an affordable housing program.By combining grants, specialized loans, and local programs, you can reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for renovations and improvements while supporting affordable housing in your community.

Probably just see a combination of solutions as we add more and more people....Dallas/DFW we're adding about 50,000 people a month last I heard.

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

They could only handle 1 or 2 clients at a time so the rest would go to crap.

You would need to use a DSCR loan if you plan to combine with LLC ownership or if income/DTI is a problem in qualifying.
