The other thing I see happening frankly is the investors themselves they all have this saying  ( My Criteria ) and basically they read on BP or other places about your failing if you don't get a 10 or 12% return or more etc etc.. we see this on BP as well Hey why are you buying there when you can get double digits here.. ..

We use Ring Doorbells and Cameras for our STR in Vermont.

Killeen, Temple, Belton, San Marcos and other cities have much lower acquisition costs for properties which can allow you to actually cashflow, but you are giving up double digit appreciation.

A plumber can cost $250-$350/hr to put a camera in a drain line but a new sewer main can easily cost $30,000 - $50,000 and a new cleanout can be $6,000 - $8,000 or more depending on the depth and if it's by the driveway which it often is.

Digits can get transposed from parcel numbers or addresses that can create issues. 

I have a commercial grade camera system watching the outside now. 

We are talking double and triple digit down payments and 10% interest.Just want to clarify that was not my intention.

Ok - This is one of my favorite topics, so of course, I had to dig it up from the grave.

Nothing that a camera and locator cant find to see the extent of the issues.

There are areas in the city where rents have been rising by double-digit percentages over the last few years and vacancy rates are in the low single digits.
