Urban areas like Austin and Dallas are appealing for growth potential and job markets, but the suburbs and smaller towns offer more unique opportunities (lower entry costs and a steady flow of families and retirees seeking affordability and space).

The aspect of buying and selling without the headache of repair, remodel or tenant issues is what I find the most appealing. 

@Brody VeilleuxTo maximize returns on multifamily housing, focus on mid-grade updates, amenities, curb appeal, utilities, exploring additional units, creating flexible spaces, and refinancing with a value-add record.

It's a great way to visualize and plan your investment strategy.2.

I have not bought from auctions due to the horror stories, but I have to be honest when I say that some of the prices on them make damn appealing. 

Hello everyone,I am looking for insight into professional services for property tax appeals. 

Just to add ,  not every inspection covers a visual of the septic tank . if they run the water and all mechanicals, they are working fine . other than a visual there are no signs of it not working . 

The sooner I get this paid off, but sooner I can go back for more and it will look more appealing to other PML

Thanks a lot for the replies @Chris Mason and @Gregory SchwartzOur lender said we can do a bridge loan but its around 11%.. id bring in 20% downpayment max, dont want to put too much personal assets into it and the issue is for yr1 w low rents and renovations its def a monthly -3-4k loss. def want an 8% or lower rateNot sure if lenders are ok with an initial cashflow loss, once its renovated we can have market rents and its a great deal after. it listed at 1.495M and we'd offer 1.2-1.25M. i understand the living in part doesnt necessarily bide well with investment focus, but for us thats a big appeal that its in a nice area to even live in

Personally, now that I’m middle aged the thought of continuing to share my living space with roommates has lost its appeal.
