With all the negative comments and concerns over the houses not being completed per the contract dates, perhaps all the investors should speak to a local real estate attorney and see if they can get their money back or other concessions. 

Just remember: most negative reviews are written by problematic tenants.

The city is among a number of nodes for Tesla suppliers popping up throughout the Austin metro as a result of the so-called "Tesla effect" — which is shorthand for the trend of electric vehicle suppliers flocking to the region in response to Tesla's mammoth presence in eastern Travis County, where it has a gigafactory and headquarters.

Hey Tyler we hate to hear that your experience was negative sincerely we would have hoped that we could have come to a resolution we know that you and your partner had made a request that we do $800 of work that was unfortunately not in your scope of work at the time we had exhausted $4900 in additional work to ensure the property was to satisfaction which included a new hood range upgraded lvp flooring additional framing  new window and a paint upgrade from a single color format to a multi color format and can lighting all of which was never in the original scope and unfortunately when we requested that we do the work you declined I’ve attached before and after videos of the home for reference https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/h0ddll4cyp5g5gq12o73s/Video-J... always twos sides to these stories.. 

@Anthony Finelli check your mortgage paperwork for the Truth-In-Lending form to find your APR.APR is your effective interest rate including interest, MIP and closing costs.If you can refinance the rental at a cheaper rate than the APR, then you should!

I am not sure if it is more effective. 

if you buy a random property in a neighborhood you've never been to and turn it over to people you don't know you'll just lose money.not trying to be negative, trying to protect you and your hard earned cash.

I find it hard to believe that investors are actually buying negative cash flow deals, but they are and then banking on appreciation.

Today poor means negative cash flow.  

To leverage the equity for financing my next deal, a second mortgage seems like a more cost-effective option.
