So from my understanding from your responses, it is possible to achieve market rates on properties without having to make necessary improvements and additions since units just need to meet minimum quality standard for section 8.

And there's a time value of money formula or discount rate formula you can run to compare the 2 scenarios. 

can shortterm rental allow any additional deductions as compared to long term  ? 

I recently came by a couple duplexes in that area with additional space for more ADU development.

Interest rate and insurance cost in Houston will make house hack harder now but it is not entirely impossible. for particular Indepdent Height, arces homes, and highland height is a great area that is growing in my opinion. 77021 near medical center has some really nice streetLook for home that has garage apartment, duplex or big land to put up additional structure later on. look for area with low tax rate and no HOA. plenty of them around

Plus, think of potential additional cashflow for the future when you refinance.

Feel free to message me if you have any additional questions.

Additionally, I have other local owners that want our company to manage their vacation rental.

Also, what I meant was I am looking into using business funding NOT business credit.I just want to assist my partner in some additional funds to rehab the property under a conventional or 203k loan (light work not an entire rehab since there are two types of 203k loans) instead of going to hard money lender because we plan on living in it for a year under and then selling it.

Agent has done great job and I don't want to shop for another title company if he gets additional compensation from title company?
