I have two kids under 1.5 years old, work 50-60 hours a week, and I’m in the military part time, so it’s ultimately a lot to keep track of and I want to set myself up for success and not screw myself in the long run. 

Over the last 2 years that I've managed a short-term rental in northern San Antonio, I have experienced many small contractors that get so easily triggered, offended, and upset at me and my wife. 

I'm buying property / rentals to make money & build long term wealth via tenants paying my mortgage for me and gain the equity.

For this to work you need to have lived in the home for at least 24 months out of the last 5 years of owning the home from the date of sale.

Nice area though and properties probably will hold their value as long as kids go to school in person at a building/campus. 

Now there are instances where I recommend long term over short term rentals, it just depends on your expectations as an investor.

Hello,I'm reading Avery Carl's book "Short-Term Rental Long-Term Wealth" and she mentions setting up a designated business account and making housekeepers fill out a W9 and paying them through direct deposit or an online invoice payment platform.

I guess I'll see if I made a good deal or not in order for this to work.Blanca,Yes, you could take a HELOC for the remaining repairs, or refinance into a bridge loan and get some capital back to make those repairs, and then refinance into the long term loan that you are looking for. 

Long story short, the nurse was supposed to extend another 3 months but there was a fight in the street with the neighbors across the street and the section 8 tenant got involved.

Hello, So I saw that most places categorize rentals as just str or long term, mtr is just another option investors came up with but in the eyes of the state it’s not recognized with its own rules and regulations.
