I'm also in the Air Force stationed in the area, and I've been here for about 5 years, so my wife and I are pretty familiar with the market by now.

I own units in Desert hot springs and have some experience with dumpy downs.

I don't know what the land market is like in Colorado, but in California, there is land that you need to put on the market because the buyer profile is someone who comes out of the woodwork and who you'd never find without putting it out there, so I use platforms like MLS, Crexi, AIR, Loopnet and Costar.

It appears to have settled in Georgiawhere the Atlanta Journal Constitution revealed that they took to increasing rent to “as much as $2,000 a monthfor a three-bedroom apartment that previously rented for hundreds of dollars less”.Tides Equity landed in hot water earlier in 2023 when it announced the possibility of a capital raise from itsequity partners.

I dont think the terms allow me to post a link but here are some basics.Has been occupied avg of 17 days per month since Sept.managed by a top tier company and has 4.8 star avg reviews.Also would be a good family home (large private lot, fenced yard, hot tub).It has the benefit of being near Austin downtown, but NOT in Austin city limits (9 miles to city center), so lower taxes and no STR rules (default to Travis County rules).I have read the forum posts for similar situations, however every market is different. 

They can create $ basically out of thin air and take that remaining $90k and turn it into $900k in lending. 

The economy was not doing so hot but has definitely warmed up since the Marcellus shale gas drilling boom started. 

I’m active duty Air Force with four properties.

If a new investor comes in with a 300k purchase and a 200k rehab in a high end market where it will take 3 months to sell, a lender will not be so hot to lend a newbie in that situation.
