Window AC is not the best because the property has the original windows, and most window units aren't made for historic windows with storms over them.I want to preserve the character of the property, so smaller units mounted in the ceiling will be the least noticeable.

Commercial banks like to see low leverage and they love paid for assets :)But if your W 2 and a mom and pop land lord getting your normal debt those are all computer driven formulas and there is not a big focus on balance sheet.

My gut tells me that Texas, particularly Austin and Houston, could be where the next wave of growth and expansion occurs, mainly driven by strong business and job creation trends.Here’s what I’m looking for in my US investments:Free-standing houses with a good land component, at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and in well-maintained condition.Yielding over 6%, with a slight cash flow positive outcome, while also offering medium-term capital appreciation potential.Holding for at least 5 years or more, with a view towards steady growth.The long-term goal is financial independence, reducing reliance on salary-based income, and building assets during this accumulation phase.Debt reduction is on the horizon—looking to consolidate and start winding down debt within the next 7 years.If anyone has experience investing in the Texas real estate market or any tips on navigating US property investments, feel free to share your thoughts!

Where I see the builder incentives and builders hurting is in starter housing or housing for rentals that investors are buying.. everything there is interest rate driven.. with land costs fixed and building cost not coming down , interest rates rising this hurts builders who are building product for those that MUST have financing to buy and are barely able to qualify IE starters..
