@Rishika Garimella I am a local home inspector and investor in the area. i think Austin is a sleeping giant right now. the rates are really scaring away buyers. but since competition is so low right now, its a great time to snag some property while its not being ripped apart by investors. i think the hutto manor area is a great choice, once that freeway opens up that connects taylor to round rock, it will definitely become a point of interest.

We do not have a resident benefit package, and we keep our tenant fees very low.

Usually of the home requires major repairs it may require a HML "hard money loan" then you refinance in 6 months on the new ARV.DSCR is also not a great avenue for low loan amounts because all loans under $125K will take a rate hit and the minimums are usually $125k after down payment with some going down to $100K Min.

During the 2008 financial crash, low paid, low skilled workers were laid off in droves.

If you had priced it 50% higher, it would probably be sitting vacant several months later.We have a property near several low-income apartments. 

I'll only add when talking to brokers have a "buy box" defined and research commercial deals to understand it as best you can before you have your first meeting or your broker contact will likely consider you to be a low-chance buyer and not take you seriously.

Looking to cash flow on low entry homes in some pretty nice neighborhoods close to where I grew up.

It's going to be challenging to find another house hack with as low of a monthly payment as you currently have, given the low interest rate.

While you might find a lender offering low down payment options, you'll still need cash reserves for repairs, maintenance, emergency fund (ideally 3-6 months of expenses), etc.

Achieved by buying low value residential housing and turning into high value tourist accommodation for Short Term Let (STL).
