However some of my best months are in the winter; we have visiting families for SU students, a ton of traveling nurses, and we are about to have the biggest chip manufacturing plant in the country. 

In 2022 the rents increased 12.1% year over year which was the 3rd highest in the entire country per https://www.axios.com/local/cleveland/2023/02/14/cleveland-rent-prices.

Don't know anything about them but per my calculations they are taking 27.2% of the capital appreciation on the New Braunfels deal at the end per their projections which seem optimistic in this oversupplied environment, (Austin MSA with largest new multi-family projects coming out this year in the country ,8% of total existing stock and already seeing rent rate declines of near 10%in the city so far) and they are taking a big chunk of the monthly cash on cash as the preferred payouts for their 3 different classes are well below the projected cash on cash total.

Actually I'd never touch that country with a 10-foot pole unless somebody pays me to invest there.

Normally finding general contractors within a large city is not a difficult undertaking; however, we were trying to obtain this property shortly after Hurricane Ida had destroyed the city and the country was just coming out of the pandemic.

I suggest you get with the SA Housing Authority, it's one of the best in the country (next to ours, hehe), ask them what areas are in demand, not what area to "red line".I love the area, not real familiar overall, it's a big city, but I might suggest you look around FT.

Highest appreciating market in the country last year.

You're in one of the most competitive markets in the country.

My team and I are looking to partner with muti family investors around the  country, whatever it looks like, we specialize in acquisitions and have been wholesaling for about 5 years, we would like to start as equality partners and bring deals to others we have systems to hit a lot of leads and experience in talking with all kind of seller's, we would love to bring vulve to others and slowly build up and eventually be full  time in real estate.

IMO this is because of government fiscal policy, ie spending.Bad Government Fiscal Policy is Driving InflationDeficit spending is a snake eating its tail: deficit spending → more inflation → higher interest rates to slow inflation = more inflation = keep interest rates higher → debt more expensive / accelerates…..repeat.The US debt has is currently rising by $1 trillion every 100 days, or roughly the budget of our entire defense budget (which is larger than the next 10 countries combined).
