I'd simply explain they can use Zelle until the renewal, then the portal will be the preferred method.

It could be a good choice if you prefer more personal space or want flexibility with different rental terms (like longer stays for remote workers).In general, duplexes are more limited in Austin and can appreciate well, while single-family homes give you future flexibility and a wider tenant pool.

If there's anyone else from my neck of the woods, I'm wide open to learning how to navigate this niche.

I would prefer to have my investments close to where I live.

@Chan Park this can all be handled via phone, pics, preferably narrated video - you shouldn't need to go and see it yourself.

Starting small with multifamily properties is my ideal preference at the moment, as I focus on learning, growing, and immersing myself in as much information, data, and real-time experience as possible.As I build my investment portfolio, I could definitely see myself being interested in scaling up to larger acquisitions in the future, but for now, my focus is on mastering the fundamentals and starting small.

Personally I prefer homes around that median price because that's where the most demand will be not only for owner occupants but renters as well.

Yes, as I'm doing more research, I'm finding that I would prefer to invest in markets that I know personally, so as not to rely on external variables completely.

We would have preferred to work with them within reason to make it a quicker and easier process.

I'm not opposed to spending the money and have a demo scheduled with them this week, but was curious if anybody else has other data providers that they like better for more niche areas of distress such as bankruptcy, probate, divorce, code violations etc. that I can stack with my current data.I have submitted right-to-know requests with the local counties but only certain information is available and can be cumbersome.
