I also looked at STR but they seem to be higher priced and require more time than i can commit to right now from a distance (I'm in Washington state).My  suggestion to you is to determine what your dream and long term goal is and work back from there.

Man, you are getting in the way of dreams here!

Stop dreaming, just buy a house.

Still seems like a stretch to me, but good luck, follow your dreams.....

Historic property makes me uneasy... plus high end rental property are usually short term tenants who are building a dream home or just around for the shorter term.

There are a lot of young people in San Antonio with big dreams, but very little hope, cause they cannot imagine ever having the money to achieve their dreams, and my goal is to get financially secure, so secure that I can help some of these kids to fulfill their dreams by becoming their business-mentor and by being able to make a financial investment in them.

Hi,First, I would set up your refinance. getting in contact with your lender or finding a investor friendly RE agent that works closely with investors that would have the “in” with investor friendly lenders. 80% loan to value seems to be every investors dream! 

They had hopes and dreams and challenges in life and mostly just wanted to connect and be noticed by others.Now I am not afraid to talk on the phone with strangers and it has helped me grow my portfolio to 8 active doors and I have met some fantastic people along the way!!

This is a great way to save for another house hack into your next property, or by your dream home.

As with any goal or dream, they never come easily, but with enough focus, determination, and hard work, you can get what you’re after.#1 - Finding the dealI essentially found this deal by accident as a result of having Redfin search alerts set up, this deal popped up in my inbox when the deal fell through and it was delisted.
