For rapid growth in a matter of days or weeks, I would not have thought it was a "natural" progression.As landlords, I would suggest that all bathrooms have an exhaust fan that can turn over the air inside that room at least five times.

But I do believe I could sell it for $50k more going into the season (70% of NOI) in a base case that would offset the expenses incurred during the off season (net of the incremental 5% broker fees on the $50k).One thing with this one as well that’s super important.

I read somewhere in market stats that Austin has the lowest rentable unit to population ratio in the whole country, hence since supply is abundant it would affect the appreciation and total return as well, so I don't think Austin would beat up S&P in the next 5 years; but a county in Michigan may have more chance to beat S&P because of rapid SF demand in that particular county.However if one is looking for job/career and more modest spending obviously Austin/Dallas is the choice.
