The technical term is Sound Transmission Class. 

The right message to the right audience.Then marketing is all about value.Unless we know what exactly it is who you are targeting, it will be hard to help.Short-term rentals?

Pretty hard with a W2 job, but very possible... just takes too long.

Looking at this property as a long term rental strategy.

As long as I get them both BEFORE the due date.

So if you are looking to hold long term, you must take that into consideration.

Lucas, stepping into property management without experience is a big challenge, but it’s doable if you set yourself up right.Know the Law – Texas landlord-tenant laws, fair housing, evictions—get familiar or risk costly mistakes.Use Systems – Property management software (Buildium, RentRedi) will save you headaches with rent tracking, maintenance, and lease management.Plan for Repairs – Have a go-to list of reliable contractors and a process for handling maintenance fast.Set Clear Terms with Your Friend – Define your authority, compensation, and how major decisions will be handled upfront.If you take this seriously, it can be a great learning experience—but cutting corners will cost you (and your friend).

Before getting started, I’d recommend focusing on three key areas:Strategy Selection – Understand the different investment strategies (BRRRR, short-term rentals, etc.) and determine which aligns best with your goals.Market Research – Study the market you want to invest in, including property values, rental demand, and economic trends.Laying the Foundation – Take proactive steps now that will set you up for success later.

Cool part is that we did the exercise last month and have already been able to see traction on some of the short term goals. 

Sorry this is so long.
