Hi Everyone,I recently moved to San Antonio and am in the process of purchasing an investment property to rent as a short-term rental.

Verification of income the property generatesi'm probably missing something with regards to due diligence, but once that is complete and you have an agreement in principle on the seller financing terms have an attorney review before signing on the dottled line

If you're still worried go with the accountant in the state you are most worried about and plan to own the majority of your properties in.

I have a property on Kauai that is up for refinance this next year.

Totally new world for me knowing there are properties off the market, wholesalers, and people that loan money just for this purpose, different from a bank, I have always thought we were doomed from finding a good deal as everything I found was already on the market...my little knowledge and limited believes got me trapped.

I've put together this excel document after reading Brandon Turners "The Book on Rental Property Investing".

Properties here can cash flow pretty well.

My wife didn't want roommates but was willing to have a second unit on the property, as long as it was private.3.

There is still money to be made and I think you have a good list of requirements, the pool of areas and properties is small in CA for a buy and hold appreciation. 

It’s been an incredible journey of self-managing the property—living in one of the units for three years and gradually renovating three out of four as tenants turned over.
