A cash-out refinance or home equity line of credit (HELOC) can be powerful tools to keep your momentum going.Focus on Stability:Look for investments in areas with strong job markets, population growth, and consistent rental demand.

With high home prices, rising mortgage rates, and intense market competition, securing a property has become increasingly difficult.A recent survey found that over 60% of real estate agents reported instances where Gen Z buyers lost out on homes due to delayed decision-making, missed appointments, or hesitation in making offers.

@Marcos De la CruzHave you ever appealed the property tax increases on your Dallas rental?

@James Landsford That punch list is a lot of work that won't necessarily help with you increasing rents over time.

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: I have no idea who that is hahaI have seen an increase in this (like everyone else) because Airbnb spoils guests. 

Cats can be great, or they can do incredible amounts of damage.You must either increase your damage deposit, or charge a hefty non-refundable fee.

Yearly increasing costs will, in time, eat up any profit they have per unit.

This will increase the return above what can be obtained on a passive investment.The flipside of having the power to control everything is that it can be alot of work (and a full-time job if a person is putting in sweat equity).

The increasing barrier to entry results in fewer new STR's coming available for sale, but also fewer options for guests to rent.
