Year End Business Tax Strategy #3: You bet your assets.

Commercial loans I am being offered are at 4.25% for 5 years then adjust for next 5 years.

I bet there are good reasons TREC has promulgated leases for up to 90-days... 

I think your best bet would be to talk to property managers that can offer the boots on ground perspective of their market.

If a resident leaves in the middle of a billing period, then you read and adjust that one statement as needed. 

Bottom line, STR are not passive, which is a huge adjustment when you are used to a hands-off LTR business.

They are just an adjustable schedule and really has no power.

Your best bet is to wait until bank forecloses and buy it from them.

.$120 below market x 4 units x 12 months = $5,760 per yearIn two years, that's enough to add a roof, replace all the water heaters, replace a furnace or two, etc.I bet I'm being conservative.

But if they are savvy money people and they trust you (which I bet the do), then this seems very doable.
