Took this over from original owners at severe under market rents.

Contacted and agent from Zillow in the Austin, Texas market and they suggested the area.

I’m interested in doing long term rentals using the BRRRR strategy, but curious to learn what others are doing.It’s gonna be hard if not impossible to get the margin to brrrr pretty much anywhere in the region, would recommend more turn key & house hack.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.
