We have since worked with 2 lawyers (one closed for business halfway through since the eviction courts were closed, so we had to start over with a new one last fall), and we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel months later.

Quote from @Sarah Kensinger: This forum should come with a warning when it comes to rental arbitrage!

We will be adding a day light basement to their Studio House plan to capture views of the lake we are building on.

Tagging people who have no choice but to believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel is not persuasive.

I don't know the city well, but seems to be light on demand drivers other than Baylor University. 

We passed, but even little things like  string lights or not having a grate over the fire pit were big concerns.Overall the numbers in Fredericksburg are staying the same compared to 2022 in my experience.

The first violation gets a warning.

I love cabins, and the RV park space, but like anything else, it's about NOI and there is a ton of blood, sweat, tears and busch light that goes into that number.

For you 1st property, probably a good idea to start with something that's more turnkey / light cosmetic work needed before diving into full renovations.

Maybe he can shed some light on this?
