Hi, I have been on Biggerpockets and reading all the information i can get.We are getting ready to buy our first out of state investment property and looking in Austin.Looking for advise on which area is better, RR looks to be closer to the tech offices and some parts have great schools however Pflugerville is not too far either and schools are not abysmal like in proper Austin and the prices are lower.

For sellers, it’s a signal to ensure your property stands out in a growing sea of options.Palm Beach Townhomes & Condos: Adapting to a Changing MarketThe townhomes and condos market in Palm Beach is experiencing some shifts, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t opportunities to capitalize on.

In fact, across the board, out of town investors are buying at *negative returns* which is making it absolutely impossible for savvy, educated investors to even get their foots in the door.

Sounds like the rate you got by buying down a point would also be in line with what we offer as long as credit and the appropriate amount of liquidity are there. 

Hi, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what's appropriate/realistic to include in buy box requirements when working with RE Investor agents.

I stopped buying in southern AB almost 2 years ago now. 

It's also worth mentioning that it's better to consult the CPA BEFORE you make a major decision (buying, selling, converting to rental, etc), since that's when you still have the opportunity to strategize and structure the transaction in the most tax-advantageous way. 

Pittsburgh can be a strong market for house hacking,  being that the buy in is more conducive than other markets and it holds a strong rental history. 

I am planning to buy a house in Bronx, close to the city, I found a single family house 1 and 1/2 bathroom, 3 bedroom, finished basement, garage, and yard,The house looks in really good condition, I already made an offer for 570.000, in melrose Bronx, I know this is not a safe neighborhood, but I do believe the house will appreciate and also I think I could easily rent it since it’s close to the subway,What do you guys think, will a house in melrose Bronx will appreciate it, taking into account it is close to projects and it’s in melrose? 

Especially if you're willing/able to move to the next deal every year.If you buy a new house-hack every year for 5 years, that's an additional 10 rental units added to your portfolio.
