Hey @Brett Baker, generally, any place with a great water view or directly on the water will bring more revenue.Of course profitability will all be based on purchase price and prevailing nightly rates in the area.If you find a cool 2/2 or 3/2 right on the water with a great view for 1.5m or a 2/2 or 3/2 house a block away for 600k, then I would look at the house over the condo.

I’ve bought 18 houses since I retired in 2016 and still haven’t bought one from a wholesaler.  

A lot of the advice I am seeing here and other places seems to oriented towards younger newbies - For ex: - house hacking or BRRR - these are not appealing to me. 

Another option is house hacking—buying a small multi-unit, living in one, and renting the rest to cut costs.

That said, College Station’s long-term rental numbers are strong, especially with Texas A&M’s continuous growth driving demand for student, faculty, and corporate housing.

Additionally, Airbnb’s policies support hosts when guests do not comply with house rules.

Thankfully we are commercial bank clients so our rates are as low as you can get in the market place for anyone who is not Lennar or DR horton or those types.Do you pre-sell houses without hedging a percentage of the supply?  

A contractor left a back door open one day and someone walked into the house and stole $2000 worth of tools.

I understand moving out of your home and occupying a unit in a duplex may be the best financial decision but make sure it’s the best decision for your family because transitioning from a single family house to an apartment with a family of 4 is not always the easiest transition.
