Tesla is the huge one but don't forget that about many of the other companies adding a large amount of jobs such as Moca in Bastrop (400) Cangshan Cutlery Leaner (150), Ovivo in Hutto (120), Perfect Game in Lander (127).

You can get in with a diverse skillset (blue collars have a ton of synergy with real estate) that doesn't necessitate a degree.But with that said, let's be clear. 

Though there is a large number of people in the game who don´t, that doesnt change the mindset I embrace.

If you go more units it’s a commercial loan and a whole different ball game based on the financials of the property.

Chris,My difficulty with selling if your are still looking to be a buyer with the cash proceeds is that you are playing both ends of a hot market which nets out.With regards to your question on determining a price, you can look at comps in your area or reach out to an agent if you have one.Real estate is very much a numbers game in my opinion.

We feel like there is still room for entry into the market for a house this size that has nice amenities (hot tub, BBQ, games, etc.), but are still a little uncertain given concerns about STR market saturation in the area, and potential drop in home values over the next 6-12 months.

When I would bring them to my spouse with the numbers, it turned into a waiting game with my spouse insisting we wait and think about it.  

What skin in the game do you 3 have if things go badly?

Both are strong cash flow markets but in addition to good cash flow, they both have strong economic and demographic fundamentals such as growing populations, job growth and modern/diverse economies and industries.
