They are so varied, as much as the diverse members of this BP forum is.

@Danielle Thomas, this all depends and comes down to what's stated within the lease agreement.

Most of it depends on your financial position ans condition of units.When was the last inspection that you had?

Lenders typically want to see 2-3 new builds completed within a 12-36 month period, depending on the lender.

This will also vary by property and by market but I find it to be a good estimate. 

They will be your eyes and ears for your STR and you will depend on them heavily if you are to do STR's remotely. 

I'm a big fan on San Antonio in general, and there are many pockets that will give you what you're looking for--depending how you define safe and what you want in schools. 

Based on comps and speaking with realtors we figure I can sell my home and after paying off my mortgage and selling expenses I could net approx 750-900k, depending upon the sale price of course.

I think it really depends on your goals.

Depending how much you earn you can step up those savings by getting a side-hustle in any part of real estate....working for a top Real Estate office on weeknights and weekends, working for an RE Investor, working for a General Contractor and learning a few skills, etc.
