Hello BP, with austin home prices soaring through the roof every month I was wondering if anyone who does their own marketing, driving for dollars, etc was having any success purchasing off market homes? It seems like it would be foolish for homeowners to not list their house on the market and let the bidding wars drive up the value...but maybe some are unaware. Also the amount of investors/buyers doing their own marketing has to be staggering in certain areas. Any thoughts here?

Hello BP, I am a first time home buyer that was hoping to buy a house in south/east Austin that would be my primary residence but something that i could turn into a rental property several years down the road. Now that it is impossible to buy a home in Austin for anything under 400k i have turned to look at condos which of course have HOA fees usually listed around 300$. Has anyone here held condos for rentals long term and is it even worth trying to rent out with HOA fees? I am looking around the congress/lamar area. Lastly, are there any wholesalers here that have any properties to sell for under 350k? thanks
