Agents will will still try to steer their buyers away as it is typical a PITA for the buyer agent to have to hold your hand too, in addition to their buyer.

Any preferences you guys have for rental properties and absolute steer-clear appliances?

Do you have a Dept of Aging or Sr services that could steer you to some free help?

PLEASE NOTE: the single greatest tool we have as investors is our intuition, it’s guided me the entire time and has never steered me wrong.  

Unless you have an investor that specifically asked for a pool you might want to steer clear of that because it's a lot of money for a questionable return.

Also ALOT of HOAs in Katy, make sure they allow STR - a lot dont which is why I steer my clients to non-hoa communities when house hacking.As far as STR and Airbnb, realize you are one of the MANY trying to go this route right now as Brandon and David have switched their tone on STR and are now starting to promote the idea (convenient during the eviction moratoriums).

First post and hopefully this site will steer us to a path of successful real estate investors.A quick few facts about this house: a large house (4+bedrooms/1.5 baths with central air: a perk in this section of neighborhood) located in a small low-middle income town outside a large city in the Northeast that is projected to provide a +cash flow for years to come. 

Don’t let others judge you or steer you in the wrong direction to make a quick buck. 

-I've had a phone meeting with my current property manager who has advised me on local trends and things to steer clear of and will also provide rental comps to compliment the BP estimator.  

What should I look for when considering financing and what should I steer clear of?
