Federal agents with HSI and USBP located 29 smuggled individuals, all citizens of Mexico or Guatemala, in or around the property"**********************************************************It gives something to charge the smugglers with since being illegal immigrants isn't being enforced. 

The hard part of househacking is always the psychology of it.I am extremely lucky to have been raised in a back-and-forth immigrant family that built (and lost) a small rental portfolio two generations back.

The population is remaining stable in a lot of those areas due largely to immigration.

These are factors affecting home sales right now:1. hurricanes/weather2. interest rates3. inflation4. midterm election5. regional concerns (emigration vs immigration) Austin TX Metro has remained strong compared to other markets6. tariffs scare and costs on building materials7. consumer confidence8. home values9. lack of real wage growth vs inflation10. property tax increases due to home prices from sales (TX taxes are high on homes)11. increased insurance costs 12. seasonal cyclesI am sure i left some out.

We took over a 12 unit building in January of this year that is mostly lower income immigrant families (I mention this because it may be relevant) and we are having problems with bed bugs.

I'm getting all the people with sob stories, who barely make the minimum 3X rent, have past bankruptcies, have unreliable rental history (renting from family, or other "landlords" that seem questionable), people who smoke, illegal immigrants who work under the table and don't have verifiable income, etc.

I received a phone call from an out of state investor regarding looking to collect rent from immigrant tenants.

ONE big motivation:Growing up in 1st generation immigrant family, I saw my parents work 100+ hour weeks - 7 days a week.
