It's been 2 weeks and the kind of applications we are getting are far from ideal...bad credit scores, delinquencies, hard to figure out how much do they make (meaning self employed in some cases) are some of the issues that made me reject 4 applications so far.My property manager (who helped me buy the house) has posted the ad on all relevant websites, we have priced it at the lower end of the range at which similar homes are listed in the area, but still not happy with the applications.I would be interested to hear what folks, knowledgeable about the Austin market, think...is there more that we can do?

It's kind of a break I take and find it relaxing.

So I don't think his main plan was to force appreciation for 3-7 years, then sell after the NOI was maximized.Is it possible that super expensive real estate like the kind Trump might buy does appreciate that much just by the market without forcing any improvements in NOI?

When you are doing these kinds of transaction, its best to get professional involved. good luck.
