Hi, 

I'm looking at properties in Hutto TX for rental & long term investment. Is this good place to buy and hold. Will this place hold value in the long term. Are there any upcoming developments and future planned developments

Looking at single family homes in/around Hutto lake park. There are some portion of houses which backs farm lands, are these home good to buy ? Taxes seems on the higher side than Round rock. Other parts of North Austin are high in demand and not able to meet my budget

Need your inputs. 

I live in CA, I'm planning to purchase a SF home out of state. I will mostly use it for rental but considering it as a retirement home.. I was given option by lender to close it as secondary home loan and then rent it out. I know lot of people are doing this to get low interest rates with conventional 30 year fixed with only 20% down or less. Can you let me know if i will lose any IRS tax benefits by not declaring it as a rental investment property. Are all rental expenses applicable to secondary home rented out for full or part of the year. How about depreciation cost in tax deduction. I just want to understand if there are any benefits i lose other than getting lower interest rate. 

How is the Provo-Orem and Ogden-Clearfield area. Do they have potential for appreciation in the next 2-3 years ? rentals ?

I'm looking for good Property manager referrals for managing in/around Lehi,Utah

Hi, 

  I live in California, I recently visited Salt lake city, UT and was amazed to see how SLC has so much of housing & infra development going on. Is this a bubble or economy is growing in Utah?

I'm looking for SFH/Townhouse investments for both rental and future appreciation.

a. Would like to know if people would generally prefer renting SFH or Town house

b. Potential for good property appreciation & rentals in  locations (closer to Lehi,UT seems like silicon valley of Utah ?? ) : like areas around Bluffdale, Riverton seems desirable to families. 

c. Is it good to buy a townhouse in Lehi and expect a good rate of return as well as good rental compared to other areas ? Please suggest. 

Also Please suggest good Property managers who are good to work with. Also how much would be a typical % fee for PMs. 

Thx, Vinoth

I'm new to investing in rental properties, and i'm looking for good rental investments . To start with I'm looking to invest 40-100k in cash for a multi-family unit/apartments. I was looking at Cleveland, OH as rental yield seems to be good (14.67%). 

Are there any good neighborhoods that i should look into ? 

Also can you recommend any good property managers who are easier to work with. 

What is the occupancy rate that i can expect ?
