I think prices have room to run but everything is local.

I would check with local experts before making a decision.

Looking for some creative advice that hopefully minimizes the tax bite.My business partner and I own two houses free and clear in our LLC.

The mortgage business is notoriously difficult, investor and lender guidelines (bank rules) are complex and vary among investors, generally speaking, brokers are not lending their own capital and the liaison on concierge gate keeper. 

Being that competition is big, it no longer makes sense the numbers that have to be offered in order to get the deal.I’m looking in to shifting to out of state and I’m open to be on site pretty often by hopping on to a flight.I’m debating between markets in TX and Ohio but in the same time willing to hear that I’m completely off between these 2 states or that their are better.I am looking for places where population is growing, prices are not too high, landlord friendly, rent are above $1200 for 2BR, big businesses and jobs and a very big focus by me is to be in a safe area.I would appreciate if I can get some honest opinions on this.

I am a local real estate investor who runs data from public sources to try to find properties.

I don't think I should have to run business ducking lender payments and using sneaky language.

I personally don't like STR's because they are more of a business than an investment(in my opinion).You didn't mention the amount of hours that you and your spouse work but I would have to assume it be between 1900 to 2200 hours assuming you work 48 weeks and between 40 to 50 hours a week.If you buy a STR and self-manage it, you are added 200-300 hours per year in additional work making your life more stressful and less time to do things that you enjoy.Best of luck.
