The increasing number of STEM-related jobs keeps housing demand high, making it an ideal location for investors seeking strong appreciation and rental demand.

During the summer months (May-September) the prices INCREASE by $250 per month.

@Meghan Begue - I have investigated moving to STR to increase cashflow.

Lots of companies building out here like Amazon, Honda, Google, Meta, etc. which drives population growth and job growth.

Primary targets are located in cities (100k+) with positive population growth over the past five years; possessing easily identifiable macroeconomics. 

Google LLC announced Aug. 15 plans to invest more than $1 billion in Texas this year, its latest strategic goal focused on supporting cloud and data center infrastructure.Some of that investment will go directly into the technology giant’s data center campuses in Red Oak and Midlothian, both south of Dallas, which are helping the company meet the increasing demand for cloud and artificial intelligence services.

Get in a nice rhythm and increase the 90k to 150k and stay in a nice 3x per year rhythm and in the meantime look for those 2 - 4 unit houses to BRRRR. 

How would the timing of a sale effect a prospective asking price assuming the tenant would expect a rent increase under new ownership?

We all get it...receiving news of a rent increase can be frustrating for a tenant who's balancing their own financial responsibilities.

For Property 2, increasing the rent to improve cash flow to $500 makes it a solid hold.
