As you're just starting out in Austin, focus on learning the local market, particularly areas with good rental demand and lower entry prices.

I found 50 acres off market near a few popular state parks in Ohio. 

Even with pricelabs you have to know how to pull the right levers and have the right settings for your market that just takes time to learn.

Also, zoning and market trends matter a lot more than in residential, so it’s worth getting familiar with Tampa’s landscape.

The lot size, the pool, and the quiet cul-de-sac location provided great bones, and with the right upgrades and modern touches, it could command a much higher price in the competitive Hamptons market.

Most will have large scale marketing engines where they spend thousands or tens of thousands a month, and operate or license time in call centers.

I suspect most who requested cash for keys had previously received cash for keys.What I do instead is explain:- the housing shortage in my market and that an eviction will forever make it difficult to find a quality rental in this market. - I will ding their credit such that all credit cards and other debt will cost them more.- I will keep their security deposit for funds owed.- I will do my best to garnish future wages until their debt to me is paid in full.This has worked 100% time so far.  

I'm a local realtor and investor, so I’d love to help you find the right property and navigate the market.

I suspect it's due to the change in the housing market and economy.  

It was an off market property that my realtor found while I was out of state.
