If a lot of the other rental properties don't have any covered parking, then carports would be a much preferred option.

Hey Antonio - I have a couple of GCs in the Austin market that I refer over to investors.

As you mentioned, having a couple of rental properties as a safety net can provide steady passive income, especially in times of uncertainty or if you decide to slow down in the future.

  $350k is nearly the median home price across the nation, which Iearned at BPcon2024 is roughly $402k.A couple of other metrics I would like to consider are the purchase price-to-rent ratio and average time on the market for rentals (length of supply).

For short term bridge loans with rehab, if the area is a lender preferred area (you learn these areas by doing lots of deals and noticing in what situations the lender offers their max terms), and your credit is good, and the spread is above average then 90% of the purchase price is possible, so you only come with 10%.But I can already tell what you are after I feel, are you trying to find out how cheaply you can be into a deal for? 

If it's too much and you'd prefer - "It's great, you won't regret it!"

@Leana Ruggles You mention MN in general in a couple of your posts above.

While you preferably would get q very good overview, i don't think you need to pay $1500 just for a n overview.

Which city do you prefer to invest in and why right now ?
