The community understanding Short Term Rentals are needed, so they do not create overreaching rules and regulations.

I don’t think there is a ton of juice in advanced analytics (in terms of selecting houses).

A credible lender will be happy to provide them.Experience: Check how long the lender has been in business and their experience with similar projects.Red Flags:Upfront Fees: Be cautious of lenders asking for substantial upfront fees before any services are rendered.Lack of Transparency: If a lender is not transparent about terms, fees, or the loan process, it’s a red flag.Unrealistic Promises: Beware of lenders promising guaranteed approvals without a proper assessment or offering terms that seem too good to be true.Poor Communication: Difficulty in reaching the lender or getting clear answers can indicate potential issues down the line.By conducting thorough research and due diligence, you can confidently choose a reputable hard money lender that meets your needs.

Durability in harsh environments, long-term value, and integration into existing neighborhoods are all factors to consider.I'm curious to hear your thoughts!

The lease was recorded with the county but has no terms in it stating that lease transfers with a property sale.  

I'm just trying to point out that "cash flow" is actually pretty elusive right now on a vanilla long term rental, in ANY market, without some kind of niche or creative strategy.Run the numbers. 

You can find other locations in Texas that will have better initial cash flow but I suspect will not do as well in the long term. 

As for the properties you manage in the area, are most short-term or long-term rentals?

We also strive for long term tenants and have had tenants who stayed more than 30 years.
