Have you driven past the property?

Urban areas like Austin still attract buyers for the lifestyle and tech-driven job market.I believe more buyers will lean towards the suburban areas because of interest rates and getting more for their money.

@Lia Veit honest question , is that what you really want to know or is this list Ai generated on “what someone wants to know about investing in real estate “?

@Taylor Davila  Most of it is driven from experience and credit. 

Here is what one of my 4 AIs say:The commission structure detailed in the image for a real estate transaction involving a property valued between $30M and $40M is as follows:Under $34,000,000: 1% (0.50% per side)$34,000,000 - $34,999,999: $400,000 ($200,000 per side)$35,000,000 and above: $500,000 ($250,000 per side)To evaluate whether these commissions are fair for a 112-unit apartment complex valued between $30M and $40M, let's compare them to typical real estate commission rates for large commercial properties:Typical Commission Rates:For commercial real estate transactions, commissions generally range from 1% to 3% for properties valued above $10M.

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.Budget : Will have to keep a factor of safety for the current exchange rates of AUD.USD = 0.68 so will cap our budget at 250K- 300K.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!

(vii) would seem to indicate that you'd be acting as an unlicensed broker.(1) "Broker":(A) means a person who, in exchange for a commission or other valuable consideration or with the expectation of receiving a commission or other valuable consideration, performs for another person one of the following acts:(i) sells, exchanges, purchases, or leases real estate;(ii) offers to sell, exchange, purchase, or lease real estate;(iii) negotiates or attempts to negotiate the listing, sale, exchange, purchase, or lease of real estate;(iv) lists or offers, attempts, or agrees to list real estate for sale, lease, or exchange;(v) auctions or offers, attempts, or agrees to auction real estate;(vi) deals in options on real estate, including a lease to purchase or buying, selling, or offering to buy or sell options on real estate;(vii) aids or offers or attempts to aid in locating or obtaining real estate for purchase or lease;(viii) procures or assists in procuring a prospect to effect the sale, exchange, or lease of real estate;(ix) procures or assists in procuring property to effect the sale, exchange, or lease of real estate;(x) controls the acceptance or deposit of rent from a resident of a single-family residential real property unit;(xi) provides a written analysis, opinion, or conclusion relating to the estimated price of real property if the analysis, opinion, or conclusion:(a) is not referred to as an appraisal;(b) is provided in the ordinary course of the person's business; and(c) is related to the actual or potential management, acquisition, disposition, or encumbrance of an interest in real property; or(xii) advises or offers advice to an owner of real estate concerning the negotiation or completion of a short sale; and

Less risk if you use a data-driven approach, and a great way to get a feel for the numbers before you commit to owning.

While Pittsburgh offers lower entry prices and a more stable rental market, the appreciation potential doesn’t quite match that of Mesa or Gilbert, making it a more cash flow-oriented market rather than one driven by property appreciation.Why Mesa or Gilbert Might Be the Better BetBecause of leverage, that roughly $100K difference in appreciation is HUGE because I've had investors just putting 5% into the deal (so a 5x higher roi). 

The breakout panel on property management tips is also something I'll plan to attend I haven't brushed up as much as I'd like on technology/AI opportunities to optimize PM.
