I can definitely see why you're cautious, especially with the real estate landscape in California and concerns about the economy.When it comes to Memphis, I think it’s a great option for your out-of-state investment.

To make an informed decision, research the mid-term rental landscape in Garland, considering average rental rates, vacancy rates, and competitor offerings.

@George JanIn my opinion, there isn't as much regulatory compliance or liability with something like a municipal bond.

ON my latest subdivision I built we have a 15 foot right of way for the major sewer line on one lot and we let the owners know that they may want to do just light landscaping or just bark dust it/ or out east I guess its pine straw. 

New roof, siding, soffit, fascia, flooring upstair, repair fencing, yard work/landscaping, new flooring upstairs, new vanities, kitchen remodel, new paint job What was the outcome?

I’m no Henry Ford, but I see an imminent convergence of regulatory pressure, existing tech, and the GenAI to bring all the existing tech together to make the full-service brokerage offering much cheaper and faster.To carry the automotive analogy further, there will still be horses and still be Lamborghinis, but most residential transactions will be vastly faster, cheaper, and more standardized in 10 years than today.The part you’re missing is that most buyers and sellers desire consultation with an expert and are willing to pay for it, because they see the value.

Any advice on navigating the Section 8 rental landscape would be greatly appreciated!

It is a townhome so the yard is very small and the backyard is all concrete so the landscaping point is not as applicable here. 

Completely renovated main level:* Demoed and redid kitchen with new appliances* Refinished floors and reglazed bathroom* Replaced the roofComplete demoed and finished the basement and landscaping* Replaced half bath with full and added 2 bedrooms* Replaced entire plumbing including sewer line* Added second washer dryer* installed stamped concrete patio and walkway plus fence* All new landscapingWhat was the outcome?
