For the 10 year period spanning June 2014 through June 2024, single-family prices in Austin nearly doubled, yielding an annualized appreciation rate of ~9.3% in that period.A 30-year fixed rate mortgage is sitting around 6.85% interest.

Any insight at all here would be so much appreciated!

Appreciate yall already. 

Any info, insight, or personal experiences in regard to hard money lenders and/or rehabbing before refinance would be greatly appreciated. 

You can expect much better appreciate on your capital in those markets in my opinion. 

Your advice is appreciated ! 

I realize now, had we done that, it would have appreciated well, especially on the stock side.On that theme, if you have very long term designated reserves, I think you are the captain of the ship.

I would appreciate if you can let me know your thoughts and share your experience.

Hi Aqsa,I'm bias but then again, I've owned real estate all over and haven't found a better market for sub $100,000 than Toledo.Low entry price pointHigh cashflowEmployed tenants that pay rent onlineDecent areas with well kept homesNot much appreciation so IMO it's a strict cashflow play.If you find and buy off-market you can snag some great deals for sub $60,000 purchase and rehab.Quality of workmanship is the downside and so is motivation of other folks needed to make investing from out of state work.So beware.These are the downsides bit like with any market, you will always have pro's and con's.All the best 👍

Muchly appreciated.
