What's the market look like in corpus christi, Texas?

Maybe it doesn’t sound like a feasible idea now that I think of it.

Anything under $600 is likely a single home that was converted to a duplex years ago and has a 1 bedroom unit. 

One thing that is not clearly mentioned above is that if you are materially participating in the short-term (Airbnb or VBRO type property), it is a business, like a hotel and qualifies as an active investment, not passive.
