Renting vs buying.....I was thinking of purchasing a home that I could do some extra work to and turn, no major over-haul, something simple....I have done this several times and have done well (just not in the Fort Worth area).

Although, the difficulty in finding buildings that will allow (or won't find out) about airbnb'ing can be the most challenging part!  

When I sold my home in another state, I wanted to stay an extra 7 days to close and coordinate with the movers and you’d think I asked for their first born.

However, is an extra 4% gain per year, on 150K (6K per year) really worth the loss of control?

I also set up a side room and did Air BnB to earn some extra money. 

I have a degree in construction management and want the extra cash to jump start my buy and hold portfolio.

Houses seem like a lot of trouble and risk for an extra 4k a year. 

It is just an extra cost.

Your best bet may be to sell the house may be to an investor for cash since an owner/occupant may also have difficulty getting a mortgage loan.

Seems like a lot of work for only an extra $200 on a good day.
