As mentioned earlier, I’d never expect appreciation and only go for cash flow on the multi family.

Not to mention it's 70 miles away and the stress/sleepless nights. 5k and a free property?

You mentioned you're reading books on the subject - that's always helpful.

I just had my first tenants move into my property on the 1st, when doing the final walkthrough I reminded them that there is no garbage disposal in the kitchen, I did mention this to them before they signed the lease.

Otherwise, you could also provide prevention recommendations somewhere on the lease that includes what you've mentioned above.Assuming you don't have a lawyer to help with your rental agreement you can find some sample clauses on a site such as Law Insider.

I see you mentioned $100/sft, do you know of any builders/construction companies in Austin area?

Now that you mention that I do recall him saying this.

Not to mention lots of major companies moving and developing out here like Intel, Meta, Amazon, etc.

The posts also read like advertisements/ something a scammer would write, and the property address somebody mentioned above that supposedly closed in 45 days, hasn't sold since 2006...

This is before I mention having an LLC or anything.
