THe logic is that STRs are a nuisance to the quietness of residential single family neighborhoods.

For me, every single listing on the market is of value - it is either a deal to purchase, a retail ready property that helps you price your flips, or a perfect example of what NOT to do lol (that 300+ DoM property that the owner begrudgingly lowered the price after it sat too long and is now unwanted inventory).

I have 5 properties in the west to northwest area of Houston and not a single one got water in them.

I need to learn about the numbers and the more detailed things which I will do since I will have alot of down time and I listen to the podcast on my 9-10 hour drives every single day.

I'm looking to use my VA loan here in Austin, TX to buy a single family or multi (preferably).

In general if you're going to do conventional financing, you can put down as low as 15% on a single family or 25% on a multifamily.

The mortgage lender told us that for a single family home we need 20% down and for a multi (2-4) family we need 25% down.

The link to the blog seems to have good posts that go beyond the basics of hosting. i'll research on that.I don't have any questions about the airbnb side, like what linens to buy or accepting guests since i've had plenty of experience managing that side.My main areas are: traditional and non traditional financingmethods of acquisition (master leasing vs owning)scaling management systems (hiring people to answer questions, clean)managing a remote property in a different city (hiring local as needed property manager)and problems that come up from managing multi properties that don't occur with a single property

Is it a single tenant or multiple?
