Hello, I am a developer; it depends on what you are bringing to the table and how much you are willing to participate; usually, the percentage may favor the investors if they bring more than funding. 

I have family in Houston, Dallas, and the Valley, I was networking with brokers in San Antonio, but the Taxes seem to be quite high as well in that State, although much favorable laws/regs on the landlord side.

Reduce your risk, don't unnecessarily throw the dice and hope it lands in your favor.

@Cameron Jerns be careful with the laws in Olympia as they are a jurisdiction that seems to heavily favor tenants. 

I'd personally favor house hacking if you're in the position to do it . 

MTR's can work in many markets but it definitely seems like a harder strategy to execute well compared to STR's.You should connect with a local expert such as @Josh Green who can run you through whats working locally, and why one market may be more favorable than another for you. 

In smaller commercial deals, are investors favoring pure residential stability or mixed-use yield upside?

Your job is to present it as a solution to their problem, not as a favor to you.The terms I typically target.Every deal is different, but my starting point is usually 10-20% down, 4-5% interest rate, 25-35 year amortization with a 7-10 year balloon.

The ability to negotiate favorable terms directly impacts the financing options available.

However, PNC Bank did say they do not sell their loans, which I think would be more favorable in avoiding problems...
