This is primarily due to two key factors: low inventory (leading to tight margins) and high interest rates.

Of course, every owner's situation is unique and factors like the legal entity involved, purchase date, adequate passive income that can be offset with the cost segregation study, etc., will need to be considered.

The factors you mentioned are very important to keep in mind for any investment, but I like investing in areas I know.

As always, make sure to run the numbers carefully and factor in local property taxes and HOA fees, which can vary widely in North Texas.Delayed gratification is key in real estate investing, but with patience, the rewards can be life-changing.Best of luck with your search

I'm not sure what yields Priti is talking about, but I know that after you factor that tax in, it goes way down. 

Ask an attorney for the cost breakdown, factor in holding costs, assume they'll do more damage on the way out and then ask for a bit more for the headache.But again, especially with no experience with evictions and it sounding like a mess, I would be very tempted to just walk if the tenant is not going to cooperate. 

Not only for the census ending in 2020 but also the projected population from 2020 to 2025.I agree that population increase is important and should be factored in when analyzing a property. 

Government assistance/tax credits are of course a consideration that is factored in to the cost/benefit analysis of any form of new energy generation, as all forms of energy are heavily subsidized and always have been, long before solar entered the equation. 

Hi @Emily Gowen,It sounds like you've really put a lot of thought into this, and you're weighing all the right factors.
