Pick places that are similar to what you are looking to buy.You can also head over to https://www.awning.com/airbnb-estimatorIt pulls the same data that AirBNB does and it is free.

If you have free time, being a gopher for an experienced real estate investor (running permits, pickups, etc.) can be a great way in.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

As I have been reading a lot of terrible experiences and stories about landlords getting burned due to tenants simply taking their softness for granted and especially taking advantage of a lot of elderly homeowners to live in the places for free and in some cases even filing lawsuits against landlords to simply make money out of them.

Having a deal in hand will always be best when approaching a buyer.Feel free to reach out! 

UT Austin SBDC offer free advice and resources I would definitely reach out to them. 

I would purchase any and all investments inside that trust along with a form of Whole Life or IUL policy to be able to use the tax code of 7702 to create a tax free income and ability to leverage my real estate assets.The BDIT effectively freezes your estate, but gives you the access to funds.Good strategy for any asset that looks to eclipse the estate tax level.

If you feel they're being too harsh, think about their intent.

However, I keep feeling that we are missing an opportunity to make money off of this house because of the location it is in.
