Waco’s housing market is heating up—what strategies are you using to find undervalued properties before they hit the open market?

I am debating between house hacking in the Bay Area for my first property or buying my first property out of state with the help of a property management company.

Quote from @Michael Lynch: People rarely talk about the amount of effort involved in operating a STR.Never sell a property unless you have a clear plan to reinvest the money into something that will perform better or move you closer to your goals.

Hi, I just want to understand if I bought a property (quad) and received rent while I started the capital improvements .. can I deduct the expenses of the rehab still?

Starting with a private lender loan and standard tenants may be simpler for your first property.

I'd love to do it scared and take a risk with a small property to get my feet wet and build my confidence.

Ignoring short-term bridge loans, most commercial loan sizing is limited by DSCR, but they are not called DSCR loans. 

you just want a plain, vanilla long term rental managed by a professional property manager.

I am a single mom but have been working hard to become familiar with this new world, and my long-term goal is to buy more rental properties over the next 10 years.

I’ve been looking at data on rental properties in Destin and Panama City Beach, and certain amenities seem to drive higher booking rates.
