One week in and it is already leaps and bounds better than what I experienced in Tom Cruz's Section 8 Secrets. 

Real estate investing provides a wide range of advantages. 

The other units rents would be the only way to qualify at the $700-$800k range and then force appreciation with modernizing one of these aging properties.

Austin market is out of my price range and looking at investing back in my home town (Single family/Multifamily).

Does someone know a range of how much $/sq ft a parking space costs in a busy area say downtown Dallas vs non busy area? 

Yeah this approach can work with rentals in the 1% range.

@Cheryl A Perna- thanks ...the proeprty will need to be a condo as there are no SFRs in the downtown area you mention ...condo market in seattle  is  much softer  than the  SFR market right now ...its a buyers  market with many units for sale ...the price ranges are still high and if you want to try to break even with renting it part time - it may be tough to do   especially  when factoring HOA dues into it  . 

In LA, it can range from 90k-180k depending on who you ask for a ground up ADU.

With the 600 taken it out it generally says in the 200k range at the end of the year.
