Some geographic markets don't require or you can't find 1%-rule, others -- if more stagnant in population in income growth, and depending on property taxes and utility costs -- require 2%+ for likelihood of cash flow amidst rising interest rates, inflation, and workforce shortage/uneager labor.

the cash flow is great, but the future appreciation and growth of this area is much better IMO than where I'm investing now. 

My advice find a job that allows you to pick your schedule so if you need time off to take care of your investing tasks it’s not a huge hassle.

Home price growth has outpaced rent growth, so unless you're getting creative, you're mostly looking to cover costs and bank on long term appreciation of the market, which all makers indicate will continue if you hold for the long term. 

That is a really nice area, a lot of growth happening.

I just started to work in a small/medium development company, they´ve used their in-house and very limited financial model for projections and for underwriting.Looking for a few options of full development models that can help us with our current pipeline and future growth.

Would you hire a dedicated property manager or would it be smarter to pay the short term rental cleaners extra to do any small extra tasks needed?

We didn't have enough money to hire out tasks, so what should have been done in short order dragged on a few months, and each month costs a mortgage payment. 

Hutto has already begun to feel a surge of growth and is sandwich between Austin - Round Rock to the West and Taylor to the East.  

@Travis RushThe East Valley has seen very strong growth and the prices there have gone up quicker than the other parts of the city.
