Currently the manufacturers "solution" is to "not allow the temperature inside the house to vary".

Given these things, in a normal circumstance, I try to increase rents 1-3% annually believing that is generally how much rents will increase LONG TERM and that a tenant's pay will likely rise in that range each year on average as well.

With the rise in housing costs across Texas, there’s been a lot of talk around affordable housing initiatives.

Condo, high rise, multi-family, single family, the type does not matter.

At some point, and I think we've actually hit that point after the second hurricane in a month or whatever its been, is that people are going to be tired of dealing with these massive storms and the ever increasing rise in insurance rates.   

The low rise type buildings without elevators tend to have the more relax rules and also the lower assesments, so they can be a good option.

I would like to put "friendly" liens on them as a barrier to fraudulent transfers, which are apparently on the rise. 

While the "type" of neighborhood can sometimes make tenant approval criteria a little more flexible, we always try to avoid making desperate decisions that could lead to future evictions.The rise in evictions that you're seeing could be partly due to landlords lowering their standards to fill units quickly, which might lead to issues down the road with tenants who can't pay rent consistently or have a history of instability.

Condos have a lower price entry point, but many are facing insurance assessments due to rising insurance costs, so that has to be reviewed carefully, but single family homes are seeing the same rate pressure unless very new construction. 

You see this often in Chicago high rises where they use a less thick countertop.At the end of the day, you aren't saving a ridiculous amount of money, so like anything it helps when you are doing it at scale.What is your future vision for your Short Term rental business?
