They really struggle to pay the rent almost every month.

I currently own a property under a USDA loan, which has $100k in equity and generates $250 a month in cash flow from rent.

It might as well be a 12-month lease, in the eyes of the city.

The June 2024 market report from the Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR) shows that the median home price in the City of Austin decreased 1.6% to $600,000 over the past 12 months.

I recently made the decision to make a new $1,000-$1,500 investment every 2 months or so ($450/mo recurring investment plus whatever interest has accumulated gets reinvested). 

We're at what 3 months of supply right now?

I gave an interview to Axios last December where I predicted that average commission rates were likely to go higher due to due to the likely outcome of the class action suit.Sure enough, a settlement was announced months later, and sure enough average commissions rates have been inching higher, and will continue to do so. 

This is what I'm going through with one of mine that I bought in spring 2023, 8 repairs in 12 months now (seller did the renovation not me).

You must collect the rent every month . 

Expenses - Insurance at $50 per month looks low.
