I just don’t like when uneducated folks make declarations that are false or uneducated.

If you go this route, you'll want to make sure you budget for furnishings.Some folks are venturing down to Pueblo if they want to go the LTR route, but in that case, you may not want to self-manage given the distance.Finally, while it's understandable that you don't want to be losing money every month, don't lose sight of the long term gains from appreciation. 

I'd be surprised if there is a sustainable builder in Texas that I have not at least talked to, if I don't actually know them.I am trying to develop projects that allow these folks to showcase their work so people may discover that they can live in healthy, efficient, comfortable, forever homes that don't burn,  and are insect proof and mold free. 

Howdy folks!  

Those folks now are wealthier but we had wild inflation in the price of, well, everything (more on this later).

The initial investment then has a lower floor, and my likelihood of competing against the STR folks is not really a necessity. 

I agree with you, I think I just need to make sure the folks asking to do this are legitimate.

Hey folks, any suggestions on the best way to get rental comps for an area?  

I for one missed your posts.. being on the lending side for decades this is something we deal with daily.. and its never going to stop.. you have the bad judgement folks , you have the inept and you have the out and out thieves.. part and parcel of what brought these folks to this situation is highly risky assets that take a ton of work to figure out and work out. 

I'll def try posting on our local neighborhood social page to get folks in the area upset about it.
