Would you recommend that I avoid the headaches of being a landlord and just focus on syndication investing?

For such a community, I think pickleball courts, walking paths, and dock access to local waterways would serve as enough incentive to attract homebuyers but not incur high HOA/increases to retail price. 

Any other recommendations or guidance? 

one almost hit the house after a storm.3. make sure when you run the numbers on Texas properties to account for the increase in property taxes year over year.4. before you buy in a new area be sure you establish some kind of relationship with an electrician, plumber, handyman, gardener, roofer Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

So I am turning to the BP community at large to see if anyone here has any personal recommendations?

While List source is a great resource , from my experience it is a bit costly; I wouldn't  recommend it because you are charged per prospect lead that fits your criteria and using Propstream you receive unlimited leads that fit your criteria!

A building with to high STR non owner occupancy doesn't appreciate as buyers cannot get conventional or jumbo financing in the future.

The other problem I have is that my DTI is too high to get another big rehab loan from the same local bank.   

If of course they go that high.

My question is, based on my situation what lenders do you recommend?
