Two of these units are leased but the tenants have not paid in 2-6 months so I am also looking for insight into storage unit tenant laws and how I go about evicting their stuff for non-payment?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. 

@Adam Christopher Super helpful insight.

@Claire Austil Thank you for reaching out and that insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all.I'm looking into the surrounding Austin area for my first rental investment property.My agent found me 10 properties matching what I'm looking for, and we boiled it down to 3.Since I'm out of state and unfamiliar with the area, I was hoping to gain some insight and tips from those familiar with the area.

I would never think to give them a gift since my business is making them money over the long haul.I do not want to get into exchanging gifts like family at xmas.

You may also want to ask about taking a slightly higher rate in exchange for a lender credit, which can cover some of the costs if it makes sense.

I am willing to accept a lower dollar return in exchange for a lower equity requirement and lower risk due to maintenance.  

In exchange I’m willing to pay for this information.
