I paid over asking as well, but if the numbers work, they work so I wouldn't stress to much.

Historically, property values in Plano have appreciated well, which can offset lower cash flow in the short term.

The reason for this mainly of because I can get a bigger loan on the house we have just built, than taking a ground up new construction loan on the rental we are wanting to build next door as well as my experience with ground up loans is zero - 

From what I understand this strategy holds up well in court too.

Take a strategic approach so you'll be well-positioned for a successful investment.

For example, if you sell a $500K property with $150K in seller financing...well, the $150K will be excluded from the exchange and capital gains taxes will be recognized as payments are made.

While I'm not sure specifically if they or any companies that offer Damage Protection coverage for 2 - 6 month stays, I know some people require a security deposit for longer stays (sometimes only half month) to mitigate damage risk and sometimes renters insurance as well.

I love IGMS. very simple easy software to use and always improving. super competitive rates on it as well

The company I work for manages Two Barns as well as Alexana.

We're looking for a house that we will take care of and treat well without being nickel and dimed from a landlord who has no pride in their rental.
