I doubt as a society we will ever solve the affordable housing problem our country faces, but there are certainly measures that can be taken to make housing more affordable.

I think OTA competition encourages the OTAs to pay for guest damages.i continue to advocate for being listed on multiple OTAs.Best wishes

I would encourage you to look outside of Austin since going there shouldn't be too difficult if you need to do something in person, you can even drive some of the areas yourself and do your own evaluation of it. 

If you know of anyone that would be an ideal fit for this role, please encourage them to apply.We're looking at designing a mobile experience that will, in the long run, offer:1) Networking and Community features as powerful as Reddit or LinkedIn2) Educational/News features as powerful as the WSJ or NYT applications3) Market and Deal Finding Capabilities as powerful as Redfin, Zillow, or Realtor.com4) Portfolio Analysis, Property Management, and Wealth Management capabilities.If you have any additional suggestions or features that you'd love to see in our next mobile app, please post here, or message me directly.

That's not to say you can't do well there, but I'd encourage you to look at Belton and Temple (which can also be very rough and block to block) rather than Killeen.The good news is that there continues to be serious population and job growth in the area.  

Without knowing much, I definitely encourage you to explore a lease-to-own option. 

I realize you are still looking at a house hack and I would encourage you to focus on that, "since February" is a bit vague (is that inclusive or exclusive of Feb?)

I strongly encourage finding a fairly priced, knowledgable accountant you can trust. 

All comments are encouraged and I appreciate everyone's time! 

Assigning contracts as a legal instrument when necessary is still fine, but not as a business practice.Gonna be interesting to see how it affects the investing community here, but I've been encouraging people to just take the title for the last couple of years knowing this ban was coming.
