Looks like you have a lot more room for a proper sized dining table.

However, due to very, very high cost of living in Silicon Valley, and difficulty buying a reasonably sized home, and given I will remain in Bay Area long term most likely (family all here), also need a property appreciation strategy to some extent, too.

We focus on two main data points:1) The pending to listed ratio for newly built homes sized between 1,400-2,400sqft.2) The pending to listed ratio for newly built homes listed between $250K-$475K.

From my research, it seems like a good ARV is 60 - 80k depending on the size and quality of repairs.Shreveport in general is a steady community.

At most, while getting approved for the next loan, underwriters might ask you a series of additional questions as to why you're moving especially if the new unit is relatively the same size, area, value. 

There are companies spending $100k a month on mail and all the smaller sized companies / people all get their data from same sources (like Propstream).To me it didn’t make sense to use the same info as it is extremely difficult to have any type of advantage

Usually, the juice isn't worth the squeeze for the smaller subdivisions unless you build it out.That’s so true about entitlement typically a long process no matter the size.

Hey @Jordan Dzubak, so a quick look on VRBO showed quite a few rentals on the lake.The average nightly rates is highly variable but that is dependent on size and location of course.What you can do is drill down on VRBO and AirBNB to see what is out there.

I have used Credit Rent Boost... they offer their service to all sizes of landlords. 

It's another tool in the tool belt, but not a one-size fits all.The last time I offered cash was when both my tenants got laid off and could not afford rent.
