I've been actively investing in the Houston market for the last few years (BRRRR) but have put the brakes on as prices have just gone nuts.  

I have a couple of projects going on there now, but might be pumping the brakes on buying anything there for the near future.

If the grid drains aren't foolproof for hair, then the DrainBuddies will be less of a fuss when we flip tenants, since most tenants will stay only 1-2 years.DrainBuddy looks similar to the the new plugs I get with my faucets, but it is an aftermarket install.

Only a handful of new projects are in and is typically from General Contractors that are doing their very first MFH development.In summary I see big players pumping the brakes hard, and new players starting to drive.For the big MFH investors / master builders, in your game of chess and your current strategy for your organization what are the factors of currently doing this at this moment.Is this current strategy due to the new 40yr loan products that may be affecting, waiting to see the unknown unfold in the market?

That’s where I’ll focus below.The Players:We formally evaluated four platforms after market research and chats with other professionals.

I have a potential boots on the ground partner in one of the out of state markets (Chattanooga, TN), and after market analysis I believe Chatt to be a great opportunity long-term.

Something will put the brakes on the madness.

When someone's mother (or father) falls when at your facility relatives are going to ask you what you did not do to prevent their mother from braking her back.
