Hi,I have a new property coming available, and a neighbor's retired parents are looking to move closer into the same neighborhood where my property is located.

I'm new here but am getting closer and closer to investing in my first STR.

But yes, if airlines don't sell their inventory, they slash prices closer to a date. 

However, be prepared for the properties to meet certain health and safety standards, as Section 8 housing requires regular inspections.5.

I’ve seen folks panic and act like they’re about to be stuck holding a ticking time bomb, but if you structure the contract properly, give yourself a decent inspection or feasibility period, and understand local investor demand, you’ll rarely end up empty-handed.

The first time we came here was to confirm we wanted it,  post inspection.

There are many many pain points to having a large company run your STR, so the reviews should be closer to the bottom of the list. 

if you you ever need inspection services or boats on the ground here in Central texas hit me up!

I am actually under contract for a three unit a bit further South-East from there, closer to the river.

Each town is a little different, some require you to do a landlord registration and/or will want to do an inspection before you put a tenant in (calling the town would probably be the easiest, or they may have the info right online).
