The landlord insurance market in Houston, particularly Harris County, has become more challenging, leading to fewer insurers and higher premiums.

Anyone have a recommendation for a wholesaling CRM + dialer with similar features? 

It looks like PREIT paid a premium back in 2015 for the property given the development potential which they speak about frequently. 

It will likely be more difficult to rent to a able-bodied tenants and much easier to rent to disabled tenants, possibly at a premium since it is (almost) ready to go.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

If the HOA includes any perks (eg access to a pool), you can use that as a selling feature to tenants.

When we look for land today, there's always a premium on those plots that already have utilities and septics installed.

The goal is not to cash flow, and it never was.a lot of new investors run the numbers on a house hack and get discouraged, because the rent they'd take in wouldn't totally offset the mortgage. but the goal was never to cash flow positive - that was just a feature of the market several years ago when interest rates were so low.

I realize that the owner of the right of redemption would also owe interest, taxes, insurance premiums, and "necessary permanent improvements".  

However, I had to pay a premium for the exchange property because the market was so hot at the time.
