I think you're best bet for private money is going to be to network at the meetups (Red Stick REI, RING) and on FB/here.

They are a fraction of the price of those who advertise online.

@Keetaek HongI use QuickBooks Online (QBO) for my flipping business, rental businesses, and bookkeeping clients.However, many on the forums will advise against QBO.

If you purchase online, find a retailer that has the delivery window at the point of purchase.

I could have found the money I bet, but I was scared to be a landlord.

Hey @Mike Pepperday, AirBNB and VRBO are your best bet to see what kind of demand there is for STRs in general.

If there are barriers that limit similar supply and you figure out how to get the housing units online, even better. 

You can also check online resources like BiggerPockets or Roofstock, which offer general CapEx guidelines based on property type and age.These methods should help you perform a solid preliminary analysis.

IMO killeen is a solid investment. just have to watch which areas you are getting into. there are some pretty rough areas near fort hood but killeen is great because it is close enough to austin and people commute from there to austin as well. with fort cavazos near by and the new samsung plant coming online in taylor, it is a solid choice with steady demand for MF.

I’ve found success by networking at local meetups, connecting with real estate agents, and exploring online platforms to discover these opportunities.
