Or they sign the lease, pay the deposits and then change their mind and want their deposits refunded?

I'm a landlord of a newly constructed duplex in the New Orleans area.

Perhaps you could stick your job out a little while longer like I did and start building up a portfolio of rentals to provide you with enough income to be able to give you some cushion income to quit your current W-2 and make the transition to a new job you like better.

That would NOT be enough for me to buy 100 units unless it's a incredibly low price, then work on filling the site with long term RV tenants while I wait for the new reactor and cashflow in the meantime.

Or then you look and by adding the cabinets, sink, and a separate entrance, you could get 150 a night but the extra rehab costs 20k to do, I think you have to look at taking less rent for putting in less money.To me, given where you seem to be new, I would go the cheap route to start. 

I am developing an 8 Unit Apartment Complex in Texas. In a perfect world, I would get a non-recourse construction loan, one-time close to permanent financing. Does this product exist? The LLC already owns the land and...

, new windows for egress ($3k), etc.

Personally, I invest in SoIN (New Albany, Jeff, etc) and have done really well with my LTRs there.

I'm also active in the Phoenix metro area with new builds and rehabs.

Maybe you can appeal to a city council person and see if they might sponsor increasing the number of licenses based on increases in new housing etc.
