Bureau of Labor Statistics and Texas Workforce Commission, Texas was reported to have the highest rate of job creation through 2024. 

You also implied that we don't specifically price deals for our clients and the client's "rates and fees will be much higher".

Building a rental portfolio that replaces your income takes years and a lot of effort, this is especially true in our high price high interest rate market.You need to have at least a 10 year vision when buying real estate.

Also, there is a need in the marketplace for a co-living PM company that doesn't charge too high of rate. 

How much below market value would a sale have to be for it to trigger a gift tax and if so what is the rate on that? 

It's important to know what market rents are for what you are analyzing, many properties are super under rented and you have to get them to market rates. 

Connect with lenders and brokers, see what rates are out there, underwrite the deal and see if it makes sense after debt service. 

Check their occupancy, nightly rate and amenities.

And also that rates are just going to continue to be an issue, so it's likely something to plan for in rent rates and/or overall investment costs. 

Quote from @Edgar Duarte: hi allI would love to get some perspective from your expertise, we have a property that we would have to sell in 2025 to avoid paying taxes on the capital gains, we believe we rcan sell it for $700K and get an equity of almost $500K after paying the mortgage balance, if we invest all of it option in index funds at 7% rate (standard com growth calculator), or in more rental properties as we are all here for, I can get the equity of around $900K.option B would be keep paying the house at 2.3% int rate while we have it in AirBnB and maybe sell it in 10 years for $900K, knowing that we would be paying taxes but it is not that bad still. or we can 1031 at that point?
