The Austin metro was among the hottest destinations in the country for where people were moving last year, according to the latest annual ranking from U-Haul International Inc.Austin ranked No. 5 among the top U.S. growth metros in 2024, and Texas was the No. 2 state for move-ins — bested from the top spot after three consecutive years by South Carolina, according to data released Jan. 2 and Jan. 3.The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area took the crown for the top growth metro in the recent list, followed by Charlotte, North Carolina (No. 2); Phoenix (No. 3); and, Lakeland, Florida (No. 4).

The supply of rentals would be impacted, but the final impact will depend on the local market.

When trying to analyse STR I try to use as many data sources as possible, AirDNA, Rabbu, Pricelabs and good old networking, ask around see what other investors are getting for their units.

Ask to see the approved final site plan for the first phase.

Not sure if I have to pay for the more advanced features for it to work better but want to get other thoughts before I start syncing data and have to turn back.Thanks!
