You can just look for houses you like and run the numbers rather than focusing on small areas.As far as AirBnB, our market is fairly saturated so you really have to operate at a high level to stand out and/or have a really excellent location. 

@Michael Baum also hit one of the most important things - dynamic photography that changes with the seasons and mixes itself up so it's not a stagnant listing.There is no hack to be the best at something (just look at all of the number one bestsellers on Amazon who sell 100 books total), just work on the product, the amenities, the dynamic pricing, and be resilient and responsive to feedback from the first guest on.The dynamic photography is so smart. 

Hi Robin,On Many contracts the print is so crowded and sometimes in such a tiny font that it Is not easily read. 

The approval process is primarily based on the property’s cash flow, not you as the borrower, which can make it easier to qualify, especially if your rental property is performing wellAs far as terms, some lenders can go up to 85% LTV for rate term refis and aquisitions.

As far as the book keeping on your end, just keep it simple.

Word of Mouth....asking clients to help you spread the word is so valuable.

I am not sure about the unattended showings, but as far as I know they were at the property showings for my buddy.Also, I don't see Nomad as a full service property management I see it more as an in between where someone wants to try to self manage a property with a little help being able to use their platforms and streamline things like leasing and customer portal for a smaller fee than a full service would charge.  

As far as the 10 month lease, yes you can do a lease/ rental agreement for any period of time.

But the trend to moving south is so strong that it might take decades before it reverses.

So, I have not done anything in Waco but from our experience in Bryan/CollegeStation, places near university bus stops and being abreast on what thecommunity is investing in as far as development tend to be better areas andhelp with appreciation.Again, I'm notperfect and still trying to navigate the markets and always trying to learn myself!
