Three of my pending contracts right now are buyers from there. 

In light of the pending Hurricane, I am anticipating significant damage to at least 1 of the units - likely rendering it uninhabitable for a period of time. 

There is still strong demand for Austin housing, with pending sales up 22% compared to last year.

I ask for a record of past deals that went full cycle and deals that are pending and deals in the pipeline.

I see almost no downsides here pending the condition and then still probably not, other than just learning how to manage or hiring that out.

We appealed 16 properties this year and have gotten 12 results so far with $116,454 reduction in values and 4 more pending the hearing.

For context, 4 adults and all our tech living here, we were running about $250/mo on average per month for electricity anyway... outside of summer a/c useage. so all in all, its saved me about $2k a year if i had to guesstimate for you (it stays hot here through October usually).i still owe about $23k on mine, have no intentions of selling the house. but if i decide to move out and rent the whole house out, our market would support higher rent in exchange for no electricity bill. i think you just need to decide what YOUR main benefit of having the panels are. for me it was for the house-hack, and consistent billing, despite the usage. if its strictly for property value increase, i'm not sure it would be worth it, pending your specific market. 

I like 30 year arch shingles or the new metal roofs pending the climate.

Truly sad part for Clayton is he could have been one of the largest if not the largest re seller of turn key homes in America.. he still Is at it but man he really shot himself in the foot by not owning this stuff. and for sure he knew what was happening one cannot hide behind the fact that investors and anyone just doing a cursory drive by of a non rehabbed home that was suppose to be rehabbed.. any way.. should be interesting to see if he gets away scott free other than defending the multitude of lawsuits that are no doubt pending.   

., but you'd need to rely on local contractors or someone to go and check that the house is locked up/ secure on occasion, so definitely some logistical issues there to consider.Additional logistical issues - if your agents are centrally working, then you need a logistical solution for: signs, sign riders (coming soon if that's required in your market/ pending), lockboxes, pick-up, and storage.
