My father was military as well and that seems to lend adaptability in any envirinment so I'm completely sure you'd enjoy it here and put roots down as quickly as you'd like.There are a few items that northern CA has on Austin; more available fresh produce, more available and quality ethnic foods (Asian especially), more ethnic diversity (mostly Caucasian), more impressive geography, and more moderate weather.

But the tightening is likely to be so gradual that the effects are moderated.  

@bob anthesLet me preface this post, so I don't get in trouble with the BP moderator, that US Commercial does not do Fannie Mae loans, so this is not a solicitation.We are in a period of historically low rates. 

Look for moderate priced durable products for rentals. 

Reducing caffeine and alcohol intake so I only spend money on them when I'm going to really enjoy it. 

Many of my clients I manage properties for are actually out of Parker as they too have found it too expensive to invest locally but can make the returns they would like down here while still being only a moderate distance from the property to drive to.

Is it OK to offer sparkling wine/beer or should I stick with non-alcoholic drinks?

So I'm a excellent on the project manager side of things.Now I'm doing my research on how to get a foot in while my income has been cut, it seems impossible but if there is a way I will find it.Looking for people moving in the same direction in the Washington area.Hope this is a "plain" enough enough introduction for Umar Javaid and other moderators?

I'd suggest you look at a large public housing development and the issues of public perception, which steers your marketing abilities regardless of rent pricing, low, low-moderate or moderate.You also end up competing against yourself, one unit will always be more desirable, you'll learn to stager rents and not show some units until others may be rented.It's great to go in and redevelop an area, improving and increasing values, but it's not just dependent on the dollars like looking at the ARV of one property.

We would have tried the BRRRR method, but the lenders we’ve talked to say we do not have enough equity to make it work as it is non-owner occupied.This property is located in a low-to-moderate income area in the City of Los Angeles.
