This window of opportunity in Austin May end up being short lived, the sidelined buyer demand has been stacking up and the influx of population is never ending.

As @Robin Smith mentioned, for assessing demand I used FurnishedFinder.com/stats; you can see demand data for a given city and some pricing data too.

That seems like a lower demand area than any place I would ever invest.   

Under NY state law he cannot now or in the future demand that I move the fence back onto the property line as I now have a legal claim to it. 

This person was one of our first guests and a scammer who found one small thing and complained about it to Airbnb demanding a refund.

Imagine me asking my attorney for $35K worth of free court appearance /advise or a real estate agent to forgo the 6% fees on selling of a home or demanding my property manager give me 20 years of free property management or going to Best Buy every week and coming out with a cart full of electronics good without paying, etc.

However, pricing in Austin is still substantially above pre-pandemic levels.

Congrats, always strong rental demand there!

In some markets like Omaha or Phoenix..from what I’ve heard rental demand can help if the exit plan changes.

For first-time investors, neighborhoods like Riverside, Murray Hill, and North Jacksonville could be good places to start, offering strong rental demand and potential for growing neighborhoods.
