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

If you don't, they will work with you as long as it takes to make 50k and you keep all of the profit after the 12 month period.

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. 

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

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

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.

As long as you can get positive cash flow at today's rate purchase now. 2.  

Do you focus on short term occupation?
