The LOC adjusts each year.

While my budgets are strong, they still require manual adjustments, and I’m looking to automate this process for greater efficiency.My background in technology and AI—along with my experience running a publishing house—has taught me the value of scalable systems.

Your true return has to be risk adjusted.  

So I would encourage you to adjust your expectations starting out and develop the discipline of saving money so that every month your net worth is higher than the month before.

Is this unit in a warm climate where heat isn't important???

Larger owners tend to analyze market rents monthly or even weekly and manage rents (or incentives) the best way they can.As long as the owner is engaged, the chance of adjusting rents is higher.

You can adjust the amounts as needed.

@Ryan Kelly I completely agree—Austin offers a strong opportunity to build equity, especially in the current market climate.
