@Fred Sebren months of inventory in Austin has been floating in the low to mid 2’s all year only occasionally hitting over 3 last year.

Low-to-mid market probably won't see much of a benefit in rent. 

And that was with mid-to-low finishes given our particular "fire damaged" area.   

When he did 5.0% loan interests rates were higher might even be in the mid 4's now. 5 year ARM with a rate cap.

Investment property loans are in the mid 4%, + fees, + I probably have to pay off the HEL to get to a reasonable LTV.My current tenants have expressed a mild interest in buying the house next year.

Unless you have a big crew ready to get right to work, a better idea is to look for small, quick flips that you can get on the market in early-mid October.

But since all my mortgage 1st loans interest rates are in the low to mid 3% range.

If you're a particularly prudent buyer, or one who is hypervigilant on the accumulation of small to mid sized issues that arize, I wouldn't doubt there are buyers less concerned with these matters than yourself.Permitting issues certainly concern me, depending on the magnitude.Leases are all I really want accuracy from, they tell the true tale.
