I have talked to a builder and a home of this size (without land purchase) can be put in place with as little as $250.000. 

If things goes the way I anticipate, Austin will be probably my 3rd largest position in size but primary financial position. 

This can range from a few thousand to several hundred thousand dollars, depending on the complexity and size of the project

So, unless the Seller is equally inclined to speculate (including the idea of accepting that same 20% deposit using say, a specific sized bar of gold at today's price), it's no surprise that most Sellers still like "stable currency", right?

I usually can pickup Spa Sensations/Zinus 12 in Ultima King size for around $275 every few months when Walmart logrithms mark them down. 

My sample size is small but I have not needed to show the apartment to book it yet.

What I do for my units with shared meters is I charge 50% flat to each tenant which prevents waste I get no issues with any waste due to this but the ones that share electric bills do get many complaints due to the size of the bill.

Has to be individuals  who own a large enough portfolio where they are not getting lucky relying on a small sample size.

When it comes to this, other countries competing for tourists have fallen asleep at the wheel, which is why Mexico keeps climbing in the most visited countries' charts in spite of the negative media publicity.
