Welcome Surya, I work the Atlanta market.  

Hey there @James Colgan - Love the idea of house hacking a duplex!

Overall, it's going to be up to the state and local governments to enact changes that will affect the local housing markets.

One I know is based in LA as that's a huge market of course..

🎉 As we kick off 2025, I want to encourage all my fellow Americans stationed in Germany—or preparing to move here—to start thinking differently about your housing allowance.Did you know that your housing allowance could be more than just a rent payment?

I have long form articles on both this Fair Housing law with section 8 and the scam tenants with fake info on our website.  

Happy to chat about the FW market, we have several investors in that area with various results using LTR/MTR rentals.

Start with Reonomy or Costar to identify all the 100+ units in your target market (on and off market) and then see if you can get into direct contact with some owners.

I thought I was buying at top of the market in 2020...and 2022...but prices continue to remain high. 

And IMHO, the prices are dropping big time (on avg. 10K/month...houses that were above 300K a year ago are not selling at 250K now) and the available rentals saturation is worse than I seen during summer season (with rents dropping from 1$-1.08/sqft to 0.8$/sqft and very little contacts and applications...just go in Zillow and look how many rentals are on the market now in Kyle, New Braunfels or Converse).
