We target young families with double income and kids that want to be in a better school district, which automatically puts us into suburbs outside of Milwaukee and MPS. 

There are other entities owed taxes such as drainage districts.  

I came across a duplex listing in a good school district that is also within my budget.

Some communities have CDD (community development district) fees.

See in Travis county if you can file in any JP court or if you have to file in the district where your home is located.   

Hi Drew, I look usually for C-class areas, like Bagley/University District, and Marygrove/Fitzgerald.What do you think about these?

Portland did this in their pearl district it was a defunct area with a bunch of old buildings that were functionally and economically obsolete ( probably like many city cores) but prime locations and all the infrastructure is already there..

single family homes in the city are a relative bargain right now, depending on school district...

It has a slightly more vacation-friendly vibe with its arts scene, annual events, and outdoor activities that draw visitors regularly.Since you're targeting STR occupancy over 50% without extreme seasonal dips, you might consider neighborhoods near popular attractions, like Tulsa’s Downtown Arts District or the lake areas nearby, which offer steady, diverse visitor interest.
