There are several new apartment complexes that have been built in recent years, and the area is home to many restaurants, bars, and entertainment options.Crestwood: This area has a mix of single-family homes and apartments, making it an ideal location for both buy-and-hold investors and those looking to flip properties.

I understand, most big national lender would not entertain you.But local credit union and small lender is possible to work with you, different bank has their own underwriting guidelines, so talk to them for every case before you build your plan/reputation.

Grass is always greener - I usually ignore the chatter, but its entertaining to hear both sides.

I want to keep the entry cash at about 10% of the purchase price, and will see if they would entertain seller financing for the difference (roughly ~200k).

I think she enjoys having destructive tenants just to watch them as a form of entertainment in her later years lol.

No sense in entertaining this situation any further.

We never thought we would entertain STR's as a strategy due to the time cost.

Hulu streaming has a call center in town, there's a big medical center, it's military city, lots of historical attractions, and rapidly growing in restaurants, entertainment, etc.Austin is my hometown but locals are being priced out and expanding to outskirts and further than inner city.The other thing we must consider is COVID really opened up remote opportunities so people don't necessarily have to live so close to the city or close to the office - what this does for investors is give us an opportunity to search outside of areas like the heart of SA or Heart of Austin but look to other nearby cities.

Until next time.Herzliche Grüße-Andreas* The preceding has been my opinion only, the views are my own, and are intended for educational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

From an investor standpoint, it’s a great market for BRRR or buy and holds….stable tenants that aren’t as transient and looking for good school district for their kids over shopping and entertainment amenities.
