@Chris IvyI don't have any STRs that fit this description, but here are some ideas I would do if I were thinking about doing a remote setup:1. 

It's never one size fits all and it takes practice and patience.

It’s walking distance w it’s own entrance to beach but it’s not right on the water exactly.I think I could fit 8-10.

I just went under contract on a unit that fits those parameters.

Not sure if Houston fits into the potential  hurricane impact area or not.

You can just reach out to them and determine which one fits your needs the best.

I was going to ask you what your experience with a jumbo loan was since I've only read about them, but it looks like they increased the jumbo loan amount to 647K recently so I guess you just fit into the new limit (nice). 

You can just reach out to them and determine which one fits your needs the best.

Everyone has a different goals and investment criteria, so this is not a one size fit allkind of situation.I will suggest that you clearly define what you what and do some research then go from there.A local Investor-Agent can help shorten your learning curve and save you a lot of headaches asthey tend to understand the market better.Use Niche.com, Greatschools.org and Msc.Fema.gov for your research.Goodluck and go make it happen

A refinance of our primary would be a fixed interest rate but you get the whole amount at once and that didn't really fit what we were trying to accomplish.
