You can still find positive cash flow (aka the 1% rule) and amazing appreciation potential.

Hi Dave, welcome to the real estate worldCollin, Denton, and Grayson counties are great picks with growing demand and strong rental potential.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

It would likely be comparable to what you pay in the NE.Just google "Lexington County tax estimator" or whatever county you're interested in and you'll usually find a web tool from the County you can use to estimate the tax bill based on the previous year's assessments.There is also a law called the ATI tax exemption that can potentially lower than 6% rate by 25%.

Using these parts of local zoning can lead to potential deals.  

Apparently some pretty sketchy people from that building are hanging out in front of mine which is scaring potential tenants away when our property manager brings them around.

hey guys, I've been talking to a potential PM for my townhouse and he sent me his PM agreement for review.There are a few things in the agreement I didn't like, but I'm not sure if these are common practice or true RED flags.Would love to hear your thoughts...

Another option is investing in real estate through partnerships or fractional ownership, focusing on properties that yield cash flow or appreciation potential.For long-term growth, consider diversifying into assets such as private equity, tax liens, or even certain types of real estate that offer both capital appreciation and income potential over time.

A second STR in a market with year-round cash flow potential might balance out your portfolio and give you more consistent income.

does anyone know what this means and how this is going to affect the potential claims?
