Germantown has better cash flow potential but may require more hands-on management.

Send me a PM and I'll send you a couple of examples of what is on the market outside of Atlanta so you can run your numbers and see if that fits.

Believe me - as a "Titanium Client" for 5 years - I have used ALL of their services, and I KNOW first-hand how Anderson's service has, SADLY, deteriorated.

@Dustin Sanders We have a couple of options that can still do a 15% on DSCR, but as Stephenie eluded to above, everything else has to sort of line up in a perfect scenario to make it work.

We hope our capital is in safe hands with you.

With the right PM, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your property is in good hands and generating steady income.Good luck with your search!

Whether you should take a retirement distribution or not depends on several factors1) How much do you value the freedom/flexibility to ues the money NOW compared to when you are 60 years old.2) What type of return can you get having cash vs investing in an IRA / SDIRA.If you can make a 1% - 2% better annual return in your personal name, it may make sense as the added return will pay for the penalties over a couple of years.I personally cashed out of my retirement account back in 2016 and it was the best decision I made.

I also hold a couple of real estate forums in the area for people like yourselves to connect with service providers, GC's, etc. 

Go to a couple of real estate investor meetups and make connections.

Honestly if you are doing STR I would suggest doing Austin itself rather than all the way out there in Kyle - maybe a couple of years ago when the prices were through the roof in Austin city itself this would be a good alternative but there is a blip right now where you can get a god entry point in Austin (downtown/east ideally) for STR
