@Laura CasnerFocus on quality over quantity in real estate investing, celebrate progress, refine criteria, explore secondary markets, and explore different property types.

Based on my experience, you either pay some more but get a high-quality service, or you have really raw but cheap software.

If it is decent quality then I would keep the carpet in place and see how it wears.

I'm a pay for quality kinda guy. 

Also, brand suggestions for quality?

Its all about quality leads, not the tool.This analogy is similar here;   a really good contractor can give a better rsult with crapy materials vs a crapy contractor with top materials

You can search on Google, attend REI meetings, or explore Facebook groups.People invest a lot of time and energy in generating off-market leads, and connecting with reliable, reputable sources who supply quality deals can be a game changer.

@Davin Manfredi first, regardless of what you do make sure you ask how they are going to run a vent and let them know you have to approve of the work that's going to be done and do quality control afterward.

There has been a flight to the more quality areas of Austin.I agree on us having hit the bottom, time will tell but I think we'll see demand increase and rates decrease over the next few months Yeah - I was more talking about outlook for 2025+, I think the correction has likely completed (just opinion) 

In my experience, having them lso attracts a higher quality tenant.
