But since MTR became popular especially in Vegas we just went to our broker who placed the tenant for a lease fee and its worked great.. its a nice way to go this MTR.. 

Nice that your first property is a 6-unit.

Experienced lenders understand the numbers and would only rock with a nice spread, giving them room to recoup their funds.

nice work.. !!!

If you must have carpet, go with something neutral like you mentioned.Darker tans or something with a speckled pattern would be nice and hide stuff.

It’s not fair that those people don’t have to register so everyone knows where they live but because sex offenders do it means they don’t have a right to live in nice places when all they want to do is get their life’s back on track but the rest of the world blacklists them or tries to hunt them down when it’s nobody’s business but the police and they should be the only ones who get to know where they live but the government has ruined that and put sex offenders lives at risk by putting their info out for the public even after they served their time.

Economic base is also diverse (tech, education, government, healthcare).

I also like your general rule about buying the worst house in a decent neighborhood, and it's been on my mind to do exactly that -- About a month ago, I placed a bid on a distressed house in a nice  neighborhood, but my offer was too low and the competition was brutal.

While subsidies and other initiatives have their merits, I genuinely believe that adjusting zoning laws to encourage diverse housing options could have the biggest impact across Texas.If you're ever interested in discussing this further or exploring investment opportunities in Austin or even Phoenix, feel free to reach out.

Have a nice day!
