If you're angry at the question you might consider throwing the roller at them.Gail

@Helen LancherosThis is a very much "it depends" questions.

@Mary ArentsNo question higher mortgage rates and home prices have lowered returns these last few years.

Let me know if you have any specific questions related to STR's.  

Some questions I have are, and this is an example and not real, if I buy a SFH for $100k that has an ARV is $200k, assuming i use $50k on renovations, is the remaining $50k my profit to move onto the next project with or am I getting this completely wrong. 

One cannot compare a forum site with a seasoned investor who answers questions and teaches.

I work on the Property Management side of investing and we have plenty of rentals we manage in the Section 8 area (over 250+ doors in Greater Houston), I'm happy to answer any questions you direct message me for some an insight! 

In other words I'm sure that within a year he'll be at least matching this income and still be getting the severance.If a regular mortgage is out of the question I'm thinking of other options and would love to some the BP-folk advice.1.

@Sam Dalton if you have 12 months of reserves, why are you bothering us with this question?

Also this brings out my question regarding the taxes but that can be asked another day.
