When I had my STR inspected to get a license, they sent out a non-building inspector lady.

A few years ago I had a disabled lady in her 70's.

Property taxes usually don't have wild swings from year to year

Here’s my take, while I agree that debt plays a large role in affecting your cashflow, regardless, if you were to pay cash for an investment of similar cap rates in an “appreciation” market and a “cashflow” market, wouldn’t you agree that your IRRs would/could end up wildly different?

Hey Friends -- It's wild to see how the market has changed so many agents.

I've done the Mid-west thing also, just be prepared for some numbers that vary wildly from what's expected. 

If you want a clearer picture of how mortgage interest rates are doing, you can follow the 10 yr treasury yield, typically mortgage rates follow the 10 yr treasury yield and it's been a wild ride since Covid.

Essentially I closed on an off market property and walked into greater than $50k of upfront equity (probably closer to $75-100k; Austin market is wild).About 6 months after closing I discovered BiggerPockets and have since become real estate obsessed.

Before going wild and spending all this money you need to know current zoning and use for your building.

But one lady who live on our other property claimed that's her daughter's dog only for visit.her daughter visit a lot and bring the dog with her.
