If they live at a single family house, you can try to drive by and check front and backyard also.

Hey @Brendan Connolly, so good on the single night stay with no instant booking.

The only issue we have run into is the prices and bidding wars.Every single home we have looked at for personal use or an investment seems to have 5+ offers and go MUCH over asking.We are currently looking at Bay Park / Clairemont / Carlsbad / Oceanside. 

The focus should be on eliminating vacancy and avoiding chasing unreasonable rental rates, especially in the slower winter months.Here’s a chart showing the median sales price of a single-family home in the City of Austin this year through November:The median sales price for a single-family home in November 2024 was up roughly 8% from the beginning of the year.

The one performing is retail strips Fund.Long term I anticipate that 2 of my three MF deals will still turn a decent return (not the heyday level returns, but still high single/low double average annual return).  

However, I'm a single guy and that may not appeal to everyone.

I would highly recommend getting a single member LLC.

For us to get back to to a 3.6 or less 10 year treasury, a lot of cash will move off the sidelines, debt levels will be higher, and unemployment will be higher.

I'd bet that nobody with a single working brain cell will sign a lease with your brand new LLC without you personally guaranteeing it as well.As for the writing style, this is totally subjective and unique to each person, but I think you can be professional without being overly formal.
