Due to interest rates and overall market conditions, sourcing SHF or small multifamily LTRs that cash flow is still challenging unless you're putting down a significant amount or finding deals off-market.Nevertheless, my team and I still have an extensive network of investors focusing on SFH deals and small multifamily acquisitions. 

Finding lots that are 0.13 to 0.10 acre is common.

The contractor is required to provide a 1 year warranty on labor and materials but replacement contractors are difficult to find because they have to warranty all the work ... even from the OG contractor. 

You may find something there.If you find a file you like, be sure to leave it a review!

However, you will find that generally the lower the crime rates the better the potential for the location.

Consider FHA loans for lower down payments, but remember, the key is to find properties where the rental income covers your mortgage and expenses, ensuring positive cash flow (although in Austin is will be hard, but not impossible, to accomplish)Aiming for five properties in five years is very ambitious but achievable with the right strategy.

I wanted to find an investment strategy that would provide more cashflow than a traditional long term rental, but I wanted it to be lower maintenance than a short term rental.

That honestly doesn't sound too bad I'm sure maybe if you asked around you can find someone who can do it for slightly cheaper but if they have a good reputation and I would go for someone who would do a better job. 

If you are looking to buy an investment thats going to be tough unless you find a HML -hard money lender. 

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
