Even if the city population grew by leaps and bounds (which is unlikely), it will take a good amount of time for new tenants to absorb those available SFH and MF units before major new development can occur that is financially feasible.

If you're bound by income, you're likely going to have to wait until your self-employment income can be counted.You may want to look at the NACA purchase program. 

I am actually very happy now to have found the Fair Market Rent values of Florida because now I can at least have a loose idea of what the average rents are like in areas I am not as familiar with. 

I don't know Austin well. but I do know Austin is basically the highest priced and I think coolest city in Texas at least I have been told.so it could go up in leaps and bounds.. and keep in mind in these areas again its not like the mid west were rents are basically static and have been for the 20 years I have been funding deals all through the mid west.. rents on the west coast and MAYBE in hot markets like Austin could go up 400 a month in a few years and now its break even... unless you can own A LOT of doors small cash flow is just not all that appealing what is a few hundred a month on 2 houses going to do for you..

Anyways - somewhere at WSU they have an architects drawing showing what their future plans are - I believe most of their projected growth is from 17th St to the S bounded by hillside/Oliver of course - one of the Farhas has known this for a while and that's why he owns most everything within a block or two of 17th and hillside.   

I see loose wires in the bathroom that will need GFIs, one closet door missing, boarded up back door and window, broken glass on the floor at side of house, a porch roof that looks damaged. 

With 17,000 new apartments opening mostly in Dallas and Collin County there is bound to be a slow down.

There is nothing wrong with loosing sleep at night when you've tossed a babies crib in the street in the morning.

Can I include anything for the month of September as they were in there all day today and failure to leave on the 26th made me loose an entire week of prep time?
