Also is this for a long-term DSCR loan or a bridge/ rehab loan?

I am looking to buy a single family long-term rental in the San Antonio, TX area.

I would think a lender views the STR as a higher risk simply because a long-term tenant has a defined lease in place, that is usually 6 months or more in duration.

I am lost on which avenue to take from the options of house hacking, buy and hold (short-term rental), buy and hold (mid-term rental), buy and hold (long-term rental), BRRRR, flipping, etc.

I am a property manager with Brentwood Property Group, and we manage short-term, mid-term, and long-term rentals in the Indianapolis area.

Google search this term.

I have a long term tenant who I inherited when I purchased the property he has always called us whenever there was an issue (A/C not working, Broken window, toilet not working etc) Well last night around 8:30 pm we received a call from him that he called a plumber to remove roots from the sewer line and wants us to pay the bill. 

I just want to make sure the house will remain standing for the long term.  

Do you focus on short term occupation?

In terms of a new construction loan, there are a lot of national lenders that will do the loan.
