I had heard Palm Springs is hot but I thought they were only referring to the temperature  ;)I am absolutely with you, occupancy rate is not a goal, cap rate is.I also heard the city has started restricting things.

Also still looking for a steady mentor that is currently wholesaling that's interested in teaching along with benefitting from the leads I bring in. 

I think the Annual Total Return is more of a roller coaster ride for cities like Phoenix and those in Florida vs. what you see in Austin with the consistent steady rise. 

My girlfriend lives with me and has a steady nanny job, but only has a small cash savings to assist with any down payment or reno cost. 

Renting to retirees is an interesting concept because they should have a steady income indefinitely.

After paying utilities, I'm still making more than I would with a typical long-term rental and the income is steady for six months.

The last time Was 18 months ago.After a day, or so, of responses from verifiably real people, with a balance of male and female applicants, I get a steady stream of almost all females who ask for a tour but never respond to my answer, which works perfectly well for the first half a dozen responses. 

Since the house doesn't go below a certain temperature when set on 68 degrees are there any suggestions?

What I would do if I had the steady cash flow would buy one and put an ADU the backyard.

It's basically the same thing as ceramic, just fired at a hotter temperature.
