I highly doubt he is building homes in Texas from his self imposed exile to Portugal to excape massive litigation that was/is coming his way.He is a marketing guy and receives a commission for referring you to the builder developer who actually owns the properties.. at least that was his SOP in the past. 

I've heard a few opinions on this, and I've seen varying evidence in my market research.As an example, just this evening I'm pulling sold comps for a house and one of the highest sold price per sq ft comps is located literally right next to a railroad track, and has a massive commercial building right in front of it.

Texting has really changed over the last 6 months due to A2P10DLC rules and massive opt outs.

One concern is we found a new tenant in 2023 and gave him a 4 month break on the rent because he invested massive amounts into the renovation.

Not that regular rentals are getting any easier, but there is not a massive push to shut them down via regulations.

So maybe some bias, but I don't think it's on this massive boom upwards all the agents there loved to tell me.

But no one Knows Nothing, so they could knock it out of the park, or slow bleed money for years.Good luck AmanWhy in the world people want to invest in Austin at this time is beyond me ….This is the lowest rent growth and massive oversupply ….Even if one is trying to invest at MF , invest in lower supply market like New Jersey 

If the mid-term rental wasn't the issue, then i'd move on to my next point.Again, assuming you aren't burdened with the uncertainty of massive repair expenses on the other property, i'd assess the rental value of the condo you're living in. 

I would go with a company who has multiple properties under management (ideally over 500 to really get the benefits a scale, think cheaper maintenance visits, experience placing tenants, lots of investor experience, ability to find deals within the brokerage, massive marketing channels for properties, systems in place to handle problems, experience handling a massive amount of problems, discounts for bringing multiple properties to manage).Also, make sure your property manager is motivated, experienced, and growing! 

They have a massive portfolio under management.
