@Crystal Brooks The Comal Hays REIA co-hosted by @Mike Walker and @Chris Koble still meets the last Saturday of the month at 10am in San Marcos.

Keep in mind NONE OF THESE ARE CRYSTAL BALL COSTS. 

I'm not opposed to it, just make expectations crystal clear.

With multifamily, your Realtor needs to be crystal clear as to what is subject to rent control and what isn't and how that effects you.

My crystal ball is cloudy at this moment. lol.

@Crystal S. thank you for your response.

1) Does keeping the SFH help you accomplish your goals (Identify your crystal clear goals/needs, if you're not sure)?

Let me get my crystal ball

Thanks Marsha,Betting on appreciation is speculating in my opinion.No one has a crystal ball.Appreciation should be considered as the "cherry on top" when investing.Invest for cashflow and focus on the numbers in the deal.Focus on the fundamentals of that transaction.Also, always underestimate your income and overestimate your expenses.Much successps.

Obviously neither of us have a crystal ball, but I'm looking for a steady history of appreciation in the area as well.
