Austin Rent rates also down 6% per Yardi-Matrix data, from 1 yr ago.

We were also thinking of trying to put a cap for the smaller units since their rate goes up as the $ amount and sqft goes down.

My 2 cents is that for non-sleeping areas, hot tubs, pool tables and movie rooms are top amenities that guest have personally told me they like the best.I think an outdoor rated pool table (or maybe ping pong table), TV and comfortable seating would likely be the best bang for your buck.

First year a rate of 5.24% and after that it’s 1/2 point below prime for the life of the loan. $550 for an appraisal of my primary residence, no other fees. 

Her rate with NACA was 2%. 

I know of a couple of people in the classes/school/course.

Replace a 5% cap rate with a 20x EBITDA and you have the EXACT SAME THING.

Does anybody have any spreadsheets or tools that they'd be willing to share with me around some solid number predictions based on interest rates, occ %, etc. 

I have never seen a hard money lender have great interest rates and low points.

I'd say house hack, be in one unit, rent the others for the best rates.
