Purchase price: $530,000 Cash invested: $100,000 My journey into short-term rentals began after years of investing in long-term properties, but it was a podcast that opened my eyes to the incredible potential returns of STRs.

We are eyeing the Treasure Island area due to their STR friendly regs. 

@Abel Curiel, When I first drove by this property in my initial search it caught my eye...out of the 100 or so properties i had on my initial list this is the only one that I had memorized the address of. 

I have done my research but at the end of the day, I am looking for what locals are seeing with their own eyes happening to the Akron market.

Real-estate Rookie here, I am going to try to make this as concise at possible.There is a mixed commercial unit for sale in my market that I have had my eye on for awhile.

I don't know about other areas in TX, but I keep a close eye on Austin-SAN corridor, and I'm familiar with the market in Kyle, New Braunfels and NE San Antonio.

Until about a couple months later, i opened my eyes a little bit more and the entire operation was sketchy.

Eye for DetailIt’s all about the little things.

I would recommend getting a property manager there because you want someone who can keep an eye on your place for you.  

Glad you made your way here.. are you eyeing long-term rentals or short-term flips?
