While short-term rentals in areas like Kissimmee, Florida, can pay for themselves and offer lifestyle benefits, the ROI typically doesn’t match what I see from my traditional portfolio of long-term rentals in North Texas.That said, short-term rentals can still be a great choice, especially if you're drawn to the area and the opportunity to combine personal use with investment income.

Assuming this is the case, and with $2,800 in combined rent (I believe you're looking to buy both at the same time), this is a slam dunk deal IMO!

I’m considering amulti-family property in the 76104 zip code of Fort Worth, TX, and I’d love your feedback to help determine if this is a good deal.Property DetailsAsking Price: $169,999 (seller says it’s negotiable).Current Rental Income: $2,400/month (duplex is vacant).Configuration: Combination of duplex and triplex units.Some units are rented at below-market rates.The duplex and need rehab.Historical Income: Seller claims it previously brought in $5,000/month when fully occupied.ConditionBuilt in 1934, so it’s an older property.Some permits were recently pulled (e.g., plumbing, window replacements, and sheetrock repairs), but it still needs work to get the vacant units ready to rent.It’s located in a neighborhood with a higher crime rate but also near major highways and areas with rental demand (e.g., downtown Fort Worth and Texas Christian University).My Goal:I’m focused on cash flow, and this property seems like it could work if I can stabilize it.

I have a soft heart for those who deal with these struggles, it felt like a meaningful way to combine doing good with smart investing. 

Would cash-flow very little.Obviously, a combination of the above is possible (pre-sell all but a few units, nullifying the profits, and therefore taxation).My feeling is that the first option would allow me to use profits to build something bigger (e.g., acquire another plot). 

Partner Driven’s expertise in market timing, combined with Archie’s local insight, ensured a fast and efficient transaction.

Your best/safest bet would be a regular lease combined with an option to purchase.

Better than any other data + dialer combination I have ever heard from anyone.There is a 7 day free trial.

Combine that with America’s housing shortage, and the solution becomes clear:We need to build more homes that align with what buyers can afford.

Especially combined with the high interest rates right now.
