The PM business has been good to me and my family.

So most agents are only putting about half of that $12k in their pocket, and out of that $6k they have to cover all of their operating expenses: licensing fees, MLS/ Realtor Association fees, continuing education classes to stay compliant with licensing requirements, monthly "desk" fees/ technology fees to their brokerage, health insurance for themselves and their family, errors and omissions insurance (required), marketing, car, car insurance, gas, clothes, computer/ software, cell phone, closing gifts, signs, photography, staging if they offer that, etc.

If you know that a 2BR single family rental averages $1000/month in your market and someone tells you they have a good deal for you on one for $175k how much time are you going to spend analyzing it?

It changes the family dynamics, and not always for the better.

I’d look at properties that are already zoned multi family, much less risky.   

I live in north austin, if you are reffering to multi family then austin is the place to be!

Was thinking it could be good for a short term rental or maybe just renting out a single family.
