Builders often adjust pricing based on rental saturation, which could impact future appreciation.

Long term, the Austin market will do just fine with strong population and job growth.

The 4 guests smoked marijuana in the house (strong smell), broke a window blind and a picture, put a hole in the bathroom wall, chipped an end table and worst of all vomited on the couch and front porch.

You must exclude the land value, typically allocated based on property tax assessments or an appraisal, as land is non-depreciable.

Several of my investor clients have dealt with similar situations in North Carolina, and here’s my take based on those experiences.First, you’re right about the legal framework: NC landlords must make reasonable efforts to re-rent the property, but tenants remain liable for the rent until a new tenant is found.

I don't try to evict based on neighbor complaints as those aren't super reliable and the people likely won't show up to court. 

My partner is based out of Dallas and a lot of our clients are from the surrounding areas.

Yes, taxes and insurance are higher, but Tampa has strong rental demand, and you can still find properties in growing areas just outside the city where cash flow is realistic.

They determine this based on a % of Fair Market Rent (FMR).

Congrats, always strong rental demand there!
