Hows the market up there these days?

We are in Sub-markets, which have led us to having a very small general contracting pool and can't find any contractors to keep up with demand.

Hi,We recently (Aug 2024) bought commercial land of around 2 acres. this was part of bigger commercial lot (around 25 acres) which had AG exemption and so the taxes that they paid was around $20 each year. we received a 'AG ROLLBACK' letter from the appraisal district that starting 2025 tax year, we will be taxed at it market value resulting in additional taxes, interest and possible penalities for 3 prior years.

Are you looking for guide and advise of an expert on the market or a pass through agen?

Are you looking into certain investment strategies to begin or certain markets? 

"Flipping" or "Rehabbing" this property would really consist of raising the rents to current market levels (about 40% increase). 

My recommendation would be to choose potential markets - in several price points - that have strong rental demand and year-over-year rent increases and that also are in markets that are appreciating. 

I am leaning on local first for my next investment, but not ruling out an out-of-market opportunity. 

Especially in a more competitive market where the options are plentiful.

But usually section 8 is the same or slightly above market rents.
