(Assuming quality of service doesn’t decrease.)No matter how you look at it, that is a ton of money.

They can't assess all the subjective data like overall layout, view from the living room window, the dogs next door that bark all day, the width of doorways, size of individual rooms, quality of kitchen cabinets and appliances, etc.The best thing to do is study your market regularly.

That being said, I'm not a fan of holding property in anything sub B quality. 

Balloons are not allowed to owner occupants, but you can raise the interest rate at 5 years.You should be able to at least get out clean in Austin.

From there, adding discipline will get you to where you want.Instead what you're doing is advertising you have money, no knowledge and are going to have the average BP RE agent(bottom of the barrel quality) come here to promote their services with no regard. 

Here is a question i'm wrestling with and would appreciate any advice on: If you plan to invest in an out-of-state market, should you partner with an investing group based in that market... or would it make more sense to simply find the highest-quality mentoring program, regardless of location? 

I updated the electrical, painted everything, and “cleaned the property up nicely” exterior and interior.

I had a tenant force me to pay for some dumb azz air quality test where she claimed my air was bad and making her sick. 

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

You’ll want to invest in areas that have tenant interest but also aren't on the extreme end of neighborhood quality—this means avoiding the very toughest spots, where turnover can be high and managing tenants can be difficult.
