How do you find someone to show the unit to potential renters? 

You may not be able to back out of contract to save your escrow deposit and I’m no lawyer, but if you’re doing inspection and it’s totally jacked up and it can potentially clean out your account and portfolio.

While evaluating potential investment properties these past few weeks, I have realized that the average rent in Austin is comparatively lower and due to high interest rates and property tax, the outcome is mostly negative cash flow. 

At this stage, I hope to have enough experience, and the network to be able to accurately estimate total expenses, allowing me to move towards bigger projects with bigger potential gains.Any advice on ways I can move forward with my goals?

Would love to learn more about this and potentially find a way to help.

Hi Likun,Rentals in the Butler/Vilano area vary greatly in terms of their potential rental income.

You have to run your own numbers but compared to a 203k loan the NACA lower rate and no closing costs were a slam dunk even including the potential 25k.

Property taxes in Madison city properties are also now ridiculous compared to 5 years ago, and greatly affecting cash flow potential (or lack there of). 

Use online resources, public records, satellite imagery, and neighborhood data to assess the property's potential.

Hi Bryce,Although this is a three month old thread, but its still fresh opinion about the Soo market.You are right it has a huge potential for student rental, just one need to aware of the area they are investing.
