Computers can analyze property based on subjective data (square footage, # of beds/baths, etc.) but cannot calculate for objective data (quality of kitchen cabinets/counters, size of bedrooms and bathrooms, view out the living room window, etc.).You should study the market yourself.

I also might be able to get us the room at Sip.

The two countries may seem similar, but they are so different and I say that with my sister's family (who are American) sitting in the same room as me right now.For housing, I can't think of many Canadian cities where you can buy a house under $100K (or even $200K).

I listed my South Austin property for room rental six months ago.

I am looking at a 4 bed 2.5 bath property in Pfugerville, TX that I am planning to rent out as a co-living space (rent by the room on Padsplit).

That is a 3.4% cash on cash return in year one (7903/232000)Year 2, reduce 7903 by 5592 because there won't be property tax break so that is $2311, or 1% c/c return in year 2 (2311/232k)Year 3, reduce the $2311 by $4930 for PM fees for a net loss of -$2619 per year or a -1.1% c/c return in year 3 (-2619/232000)Essentially, these numbers are so far off of pro forma and there is pretty much zero wiggle room on these numbers. 

But if I'm going somewhere with my wife for any length of time, I like the space afforded us by a vacation rental, the kitchen for cooking, a living room for spreading out.

No one is going to come to your door stalking you, but feel free to pay a few grand a year to "hide" your identity that will be able to be found in 15 minutes or in a request from the tenant if they request ownership of the LLC or the operating agreement to understand who they are signing a lease with.

Heck, even that mail/package room can be a cash cow!

I also have no idea what room I'm looking at since they aren't labeled.
