.: Does anyone have any information about the short term rental market in Kyle Texas?

Value: I am paying current market value. 

Try creating your own list.For pre-foreclosure, you want to market to them.

Networking with local wholesalers and real estate agents who specialize in investment properties can also lead to off-market opportunities.

Unless you have $5 - 10k MONTHLY to spend on marketing this is what you need to do to have any chance for success with wholesaling.  

I do not subscribe to the idea that you should expect negative cashflow UNLESS you want a specific property in a specific market that is more or less a second home situation. 

or get good tenant for around 1200$ on vacant unit (i reduced rent from 1350 to 1200 as not much interest in current market) and hold few more years absorbing repair costs and contractor issues, trees issues, retention wall issues, tough neighbor issues, loud music, tobacco etc. smell issues, dogs barking issues.7.

Most can provide a rental report to see how much properties are renting for in your area and how long properties are staying on the market. 

On the surface, it might seem cheaper to hire a PM company, but when you factor in vacancies, maintenance, and under-market rents, you’ll likely come out ahead by managing it yourself.I used to work for a local investor with 500+ units, all in one town.

Having local family gave me a built-in support system, market familiarity, and the confidence to manage a property from a distance if needed.
