We've invested around $50,000 in improvements (central air and hardscaping) and our mortgage is a 30-year fixed at 2.5%, with a PITI of $2400.We think it could rent for $3,750 - $4,000 per month based on local comps.

The last one, however, started with many people from two certain neighborhoods, gathered by a local non-profit, who spoke much about affordable housing, being displaced, etc.

If you’re thinking of branching out, cities like Austin or San Antonio are worth considering, but staying local has its perks too.

I mean by safest is on the volatility, for example STRs have many different factors, seasons of the year, local government regs and much more.

Howdy,I haven't decided if we are gonna manage the property or hire a local area property manager yet.

One person had to go through 30+ local commercial lenders which are the easiest to work with!

Localized knowledge for an agent or investor is needed to answer most of these questions.

@Brett Riemensnider Following @Caleb Brown's advice, you need to contact a local eviction attorney asap and let them know you have demands for nonpayment of rent that have expired and you'd like to start the eviction process.

Otherwise, the tenant will make excuse after excuse to buy more time as they fall further and further behind.To find an attorney, suggest you visit your local court and lookup the landlord-tenant docket to ID attorneys with the most cases.

We have tried multiple local collection agencies, and we have not received a penny for over a hundred thousand dollars of bad debt submitted to them.We keep hearing, "It takes time" but it's been well over a year with the most recent one.
