Is your potential tenant pool realistically limited to one very specific and small ethnic group, or is the neighborhood diverse enough so that your applicant pool is large?

This particular area of Austin has a pretty diverse set of styles Will.

The turnaround areas the counter culture/hipsters moved in first.

I have a lot of experience working with clients in all categories from experienced investors all the way to first time buyer/sellers, whether it's with REOs, HUD homes, foreclosures, or regular sales.When I'm not working, you'll find me traveling, at sporting events (even when our teams are horrible), trying out a new restaurant, playing my guitar, going to see some of my favorite classic rock bands in concert, or getting some culture at the different museums around town.If I wasn't a Realtor, I think I would be starting a restaurant or trying to come up with the next big idea to make people's lives easier.I joined BP because I'm interested in networking, finding new clients to work with, and of course continuing my quest for constantly learning new things.If you think I might be a good connection, or at the very least a nice person, then I would love to talk!

I am a fan of diverse, immigrant heavy areas.

That is a very good question from which you will hear a diverse range of opinions.My philosophy over the years has changed.

In many cultures it is not acceptable for unrelated, unmarried adults of the opposite sex to share accommodations.

The universities and the cultural institutions of the east side drive rents far higher than the west side. $1200/mo for a 2 bed apartment in a (very) desirable east side neighborhood is normal and expected--an equivalent (very desirable) Lakewood apartment is nearly half that.

Its a cultural thing with the wife (no debt).

You need a qualified interpreter as much as the tenant does.Since you are dealing with 11 units, I would hire a professional language service that has resources for both interpreters (spoken language) and translators (written language) and perhaps even a cultural consultant.
