We are buying the lot next-door and we’re building an eight bedroom house that is three stories and will have a roof top pool, where you can look out and see the ocean.

I’m currently trying to decide between two 3 bedroom units (one is roof top with gulf views and boat slip, other is ground floor with direct access to pool and big patio) , or a one bedroom in the same building that’s also roof top with gulf views (I believe sandpiper).

There’s an observed increase in sales volumes and a moderate appreciation in house prices, coupled with a significant interest in affordable housing in the search data.Opt for cost-effective updates that improve structural integrity and aesthetic appeal, such as new fixtures, fresh paint, and updated kitchens and bathrooms.

Prices are from $242k for mezzanine, $292k for garden (1,244 sf w/plunge pool) and  $343k for the PH condos (1,475 w/492sf rooftop terrace w/pool and palapa).  

I actually signed to the forum several months ago but was a silent observer.

That's an interesting observation about the Texas market.

I would love to hear the observations you have of the market now and in the future?

I don't have much specific advice for you, but I do have a few observations based on my own experience as a landlord and a partner/wife.  

Make friends with a local realtor and get on there to see your comps and what's offered...I've found Zillow to be mehhhh....rentometer was too high in my observations.

@Brandon PelfreyYour observations are solid and your plan for house hacking a small multi is a good goal.
