That said, over a long time horizon, and for investors who are willing to take chips off the table and not continually double down on PML, it's a great return and the spread is large enough to make a big difference.

.• Have no more than three bedrooms at the property, which would include the homeowner’s bedroom.• Be located at least 660 feet from any other short-term residential rental, as well as 2,500 feet from a resort hotel.• Be in a zoning area that allows short-term residential rentals.• Have written permission from your Homeowners Association (HOA), if applicable.

I can't do central AC with no furnace, and wall mounted mini splits will look terrible.

@Austin Bright Over the past three years, I’ve been using most of the major off-market techniques.Of all the methods, texting has been a double-edged sword.

Double deposit.

Double-check local regulations, but you’re likely fine without one.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

A few of the more "out in left field"  messages include someone double messaging me within a 24 hour time period asking if I'm interesting in investing in STRs - my answer is no and I think that's a bit aggressive, not even giving me a day or two to reply to the first DM.

My gut tells me that Texas, particularly Austin and Houston, could be where the next wave of growth and expansion occurs, mainly driven by strong business and job creation trends.Here’s what I’m looking for in my US investments:Free-standing houses with a good land component, at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and in well-maintained condition.Budget : Will have to keep a factor of safety for the current exchange rates of AUD.USD = 0.68 so will cap our budget at 250K- 300K.Yielding over 6%, with a slight cash flow positive outcome, while also offering medium-term capital appreciation potential.Holding for at least 5 years or more, with a view towards steady growth.The long-term goal is financial independence, reducing reliance on salary-based income, and building assets during this accumulation phase.Debt reduction is on the horizon—looking to consolidate and start winding down debt within the next 7 years.If anyone has experience investing in the Texas real estate market or any tips on navigating US property investments, feel free to share your thoughts!

Take for instance my B+ located quadraplex consisting of 2 Bedroom units in Philadelphia that rent for just shy of $3,000/m and compare my building to the nearly identical quadraplex building in a C location in Philadelphia were the rents are $1,200/m. 

Considering the high prices of other lots in the area, many have said I got a great deal.The land I bought has a 2-bedroom, 1-bath house that was listed as 550 sqft but is actually 750 sqft; the records just weren't updated with the city.
