So I'm in a unique position where I am not constrained by rent expenses and can look to this first property right away as a positively cash flowing investment.

However, when looking for properties in downtown Austin near my work, my wife and I have been facing several challenges due to the high prices.We first wanted to buy a small multifamily home, but the prices for these would be beyond want we could afford month to month if the other unit(s) sat vacant.

What would be some of the possible solutions to this challenge? 

@Noel Challenger May I ask how many signs you put up monthly and yearly basis?

Personally over worked with many title companies on various deals (all investment properties), and they all been good.Don’t get me wrong, I have my favorite but never really had a “bad” experience with any as an investor.Is there something unique or specific you are looking to have them do as an investor??

Also, I have found it challenging (depending on the tenant) that the payment of rent and requests for repair calls may be confusing for the tenant depending upon new procedures.

By this I mean is there enough parking for your business to be successful there, or would it impose a challenge for your customers and hurt your likelihood to succeed?

The challenge is finding a deal in a hot market like Nashville.

The area is going through a revitalization period so it's challenging to know what to do.

My partners and I acquired some great real estate in a small downtown and plan to develop a nice mixed-use project to include retail/restaurants on the first floor with condominiums above that on the second and third ...
