But there are a couple things to consider.

My home is technically considered a SFR not a duplex.  

I've considered doing that as well.Depends on the rates.

I’ve considered multifamily or duplexes, but from what I’ve heard, they’re unideal right now, so I’m leaning towards STRs.I’ve put together a list of areas that seem STR-friendly with good tourism appeal, and I’d love to get feedback from people who know the San Antonio market well.

Consider using an FHA loan to secure a 1–4 unit property with just 3.5% down and take advantage of tax benefits by living there for at least two years.

What is your price range and what do you consider to be a "medium" rehab project, rehab costs = to 25%-50% of the purchase price?

Gives me more to consider as I develop the PPM.   

Or any additional options I'm not considering?

Hi Jimmy,Thanks for the feedback, we have considered Columbus in our analysis and while its great option considering how well the appreciation amounts, i doubt we would find a multifamily in our budget within  those appreciating markets.

We were considering a LC, Or ULC or even a partnership for the pass-through.Beyond that is somthing i will have to def learn more of.
