The opportunity would then be in updating their payment systems to new tech, building a strong online presence so people can book online, marketing to the local community and offering items for purchase inside of the facility (locks, moving boxes, dolly rental, etc).How's your car wash search going, brother?

I am getting mixed answers saying that additional living space will increase the value of my house some say it will decrease the value of my house.

There is a higher turnover, but from what I've experienced so far, you get much higher quality tenants as they're usually traveling nurses or, in my case, someone moving to Austin for a tech job, and needs a place to stay while they purchase a home.Anyone else in Austin have experiences with this?

Potential upside of better cashflow and I could also get immediate use out of it.I'm leaning more towards LTR for the first purchase, however, there is a mixed-use potential benefit of a STR (depending where) as well. 

We spend usually around 1200 (well now more like 1400) on a side by side and have a wide mix of mainstream brands.

Good mix of cashflow and appreciation. 

I'm looking for lists that would include folks who've passed away, properties with water or electrical shut offs, and maybe more.Currently I have capital to employ and have three experienced investors, combined we have $350k to invest in Oregon - ideally on 5+ unit multifamily and mixed use projects to improve the communities and assist with housing.

Mix that with a tough economy and a hardening insurance market, and rates will likely take a more significant increase in your area.  

If a seller has a mixed-use or commercial property that is vacant, no one can get a commercial loan on it so it's cash or seller finance.
