Understanding this is a Real Estate forum, I am hoping that someone could point me in the right direction to a loan officer who would be able to assist me in refinancing my loan, helping me cut the interest in half.

Focusing on downtown development might solve some of the problem, but it also cuts out a lot of smaller developers that could be building apartment housing instead of luxury homes. 3.)

We are extremely selective in who we rent to which cuts down on 99% of the ********. - do not allow 0 review guests to instant book (we will decide whether or not to rent to them based off of their inquiry message)- only host people recommended by other hosts- make sure you have security cameras that face all entrances to the property (also you will need to specify that they are ON AND RECORDING in the listing - just disclosing the locations and that they are there is not enough apparently) 

I live in Austin, TX, so I wouldn't be able to respond to emergencies, but also know how much having a property manager might cut into my profit potential.Would love to hear feedback from anyone who has thoughts on this!

The agency will take a large cut, usually about 40% but they do all of the work.

If you ask the seller to do the work, they might cut corners to save some $$, or take too long.Good luck!

That all makes sense, and we definitely will have a professional help us- I guess I would also wonder, if 40% of the property (square footage) is rental but it is only rented 50% of the time would that be cut in half to 20% capital gains or would it be 40% no matter what the occupancy rate is?

I’m not saying I would not like appreciation on my home of course I would want it for safety and if I do want half the money if I sell it.
