@Rishika Garimella I am a local home inspector and investor in the area. i think Austin is a sleeping giant right now. the rates are really scaring away buyers. but since competition is so low right now, its a great time to snag some property while its not being ripped apart by investors. i think the hutto manor area is a great choice, once that freeway opens up that connects taylor to round rock, it will definitely become a point of interest.

there has been a lot of talk in the industry about building multi generational housing..

@Mike LambertAs the hospitality industry is revitalizing from COVID, hotels are back to the increased occupancy rates.

And probably not a lot of competition.

@Richard Anderson: You've piqued my interest.Do you happen to know if there are guidelines in the banking industry as to how to handle the Due on Sale Clause when a seller sells on Executory contract to another individual?

I base my rents on the condition of the unit and the competition. 

The first time I was laid off it was traumatic because I my industry and the economy were in the toilet but more importantly, I didn't have enough cash flowing RE, second time.... not nearly as bad, and the third time it was my idea and I haven't lost a minute of sleep about my decision. 

Learn from your family and on your own by going to different meet-ups and having conversations with agents, other investors and anyone else in the industry to hear about their experiences.Make 2025 a year of planning and how you will go about that plan. 

These lenders essentially take the profits that rightfully belong to their clients—a practice that is not only unethical but destructive to the industry as a whole.The reality is there are plenty of good deals in the market.

I suspect the disclosure language will follow.. and CE  or training is a good idea but that would probably be step 2.Oregon can be pretty funny when it comes to laws and regs.For instance in the logging industry.. there are all sorts of environmental laws of course and as a logger your expected to know them..
