Would you share 3 specific things I should do during my "training period" (if it includes a book, which one)?

For the 10 year period spanning December 2014-2024, single-family prices in Austin nearly doubled, yielding an annualized appreciation rate of ~9.4% in that period.

I think one of the older resorts that still do allow short-term (Airbnb rentals) would fit the bill.

Apartments are the least ideal living situation for us, so what if we got stuck in a multifamily property we intended to just be in for a short time.

The loan has a payback period of 5 years in equal installments. 

I saved up the cash over a 2yr period.

I've never seen a new STR law that didn't grandfather in existing permitted short-term rentals.

The bullet in the response that is standing out to me is:"(7) The accessory dwelling shall not be a short-term residential rental, as defined by City Code section 3-2-152(a)(2), for a period exceeding 120 days per calendar year."

They stopped paying the lender and wanted to work something out with the lender but the time is running out (ie the management company did not do any significant improvement during the forbearance period) One of the LP just emailed me and said we need to raise 65k to enlist help from this company.

You Open Escrow, deposit your Earnest Money Deposit and your due diligence period starts (unless otherwise written into the contract).
