Is there any way to still 'time the market' in such a competitive environment?

@Chandler ButlerThe workplace environment in a brokerage is dependent on its culture.

With todays high interest rate environment, we are seeing 30-35% down payments to make numbers work though.

With Austin prices already super high (compared to the rest of the State) + somewhat of a remote work environment, it's possible that a migration towards San Antonio will start to pick up for more blue collar, price sensitive tenants looking for cheaper housing .

Ones that got hammered or ones that held values but historically don't really move much if ever.In my mind for what your looking at if you can get into this property and live in one of the units for something less than what you would pay for a mortgage on a SFR and your OK living next door to your tenants or living in a 3 plex environment as a personal residence then it makes sense.For me personally I don't get to much into Net Gross or how you got there I just want to know all the expense's and is there anything left over So I guess I am a net guy..

I currently work in an industrial environment managing the construction of large capital projects.

You have demonstrated the ability to learn in a structured environment and in a social setting, it doesn't make you smarter it will make you better educated to address issues in life, not just a job.

Does this describe the current environment in your local market?

You obviously don't feel comfortable going there in person which indicates the environment is less than safe.

As much as we would enjoy that environment, it is not 'go' for me professionally.My profession thrives in areas where population is high and the government takes everything it can.That being said, we are erring on the 'no go' side.
