We are considering investing in Houston as foreign investors (from Belgium), our goal is to find and start with a long-term rental single or multi family home. 

As noted I drank the cool aid on the high return higher risk and for me was not what I wanted .. now all we have is a few top shelf and I like that no calls values hold exit is real etc etc..

The location is ideal, as it’s situated in a neighborhood that permits short-term rentals (STRs), making it a great investment opportunity.

I suspect even the banks who are aggressively expanding are doing so merely to sure up their geographical presence  to in order to expand their customer base but will then pull back on their branch numbers.Unless there is significant term remaining on the lease, there are other retail concepts that would be deemed more marketable.

As MFH is dropping there shorts to get and keep full occupancy, offering every spif imaginable, larger units are to accommodate families of size or multi-gen living is a rare inventory. 

then, there are holding costs while you rehab - servicing the loan, insurance, utilities, the rehab. 

My wife and I have done all the terms (short, mid, long term rentals) and have done some live in flips.

I've asked for the loan details so I can see the terms and fine print of the loan myself and am doing extensive research, but would love info from the community.

@Blake Johnson If investors want to divide real estate holdings without triggering a large tax bill, the biggest challenge is that transferring assets out of a corporation is typically treated as a taxable sale at fair market value.

Realistically we will be getting closer to retail pricing although we are are looking at some off market properties to try to get a discount.In terms of cash flows, from the modeling I have done, there looks to a decent amount of cashflow on these properties when modeling at retail so I am curious why there would be no cash flow on BRRRR strategies?
