@Shawn SheedyIf I understand you correctly it appears you are expecting a property owner to subsidize your rent at a below market rate....which in essence means you'd be digging in their pockets, not the other way around as you have accused.I don't see how the effort to enact laws after the fact changes your current situation. 

So infilling an income gap via people who can disappear just as easily as appear seems short sighted to me. 

Beyond something of extreme nature I find most things are repairable, especially if it’s a rental.

Haha, not sure about the veracity of some of those comments, but I tend to be skeptical by nature anyway.

Also Texas appears to be saturated with inventory and more being built.

What I do not control is the natural level of rents in any given market at any given time. 

It appears to me a few numbers are questionable.

I am also considering multiple rentals and it appears that I have found a pretty good property manager based on feedback I have. 

This influx of workers will naturally drive demand for housing, retail, and other services in the surrounding areas, especially in smaller towns and cities that haven't seen major growth in decades.

I think Natural Gas dryers have 110V outlets but electric only dryers are 220V w/30 Amp breakers, if I'm remembering correctly.
