Light framing, drywall, flooring, bathrooms and kitchens.

My gut tells me that Texas, particularly Austin and Houston, could be where the next wave of growth and expansion occurs, mainly driven by strong business and job creation trends.Here’s what I’m looking for in my US investments:Free-standing houses with a good land component, at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and in well-maintained condition.Budget : Will have to keep a factor of safety for the current exchange rates of AUD.USD = 0.68 so will cap our budget at 250K- 300K.Yielding over 6%, with a slight cash flow positive outcome, while also offering medium-term capital appreciation potential.Holding for at least 5 years or more, with a view towards steady growth.The long-term goal is financial independence, reducing reliance on salary-based income, and building assets during this accumulation phase.Debt reduction is on the horizon—looking to consolidate and start winding down debt within the next 7 years.If anyone has experience investing in the Texas real estate market or any tips on navigating US property investments, feel free to share your thoughts!

My tenant allegedly got locked in the bathroom.

Most areas of the metro you can rent to an individual for $800+ month / room and even more than that if you're renting a room and private bathroom. 

Are tenants failing to ventilate the bathroom after a hot shower?

We actually put one in our lower level and while this is fine in the summer , in the winter in the northeast this is adjacent to a bathroom and the bathroom is then freezing. 

Trying to find people that can share kitchens, bathrooms and more is like babysitting.If serious, look at companies like Padsplit.BP so far, doesn't have any service for finding motivated sellers.

@Luan Oliveira I wish i had known about the lowe's outlet before I bought a bathroom sink for one of the units!

I had a similar situation with a tenant who kept complaining about noise in my fourplex, specifically bathroom noises from the upstairs unit.I told her I didn’t think she was happy and that we probably chose the wrong apartment for her.

New vanity for bath room.
