Moved out after a year and renting the top floor out, and now repeating the process with another house down the block.

We were getting ready to move forward with them but now I’m having second thoughts after seeing this.  

By implementing these strategies, you can stand out in a crowded market and ensure your short-term rental thrives.Do you need more tips, or are you looking to invest in a new property in Pinellas County, FL?

Depending on your credit, prepayment and LTV's.Rates are anywhere from 6.5%-8 % right now

DSTs suffer from 3 main problems:1) Low returns (aka 4-6% ish)2) High fees3) Poor / no liquidityThe combination of these factors makes DSTs pretty terrible investments right now.

Is this a good investment strategy in Houston right now?"

For example, say the owner took out a 1 Million loan for his building 5 years ago, now is selling it at 2M. 

There's a domino effect that will impact costs in MANY other areas that you don't see right now, but they'll be there.

For instance, if when you buy you see the property will need a new roof in 5 years, is it more expensive to fix it now, or later? 

Depending on your income and tax situation you’ll most likely want to stagger the selling of rentals in hopes selling them all now doesn’t shoot you up into higher tax brackets.
