You are right- I need to focus on year-round STRs to bring in the most cashflow & I plan on managing them myself for now. 

Just about ready to send out our first round of mailers. 

They do not pick out Bob or Jane specifically, but its more of a round robin system for appraisers close by that are approved, then they send the order out and see if the appraiser will accept it.You can not pick your own appraiser, for obvious reasons, that is how many people committed appraisal fraud back in the day.

It is very difficult and risky to move tenants out of a single-family home or duplex so you can rehab the property to increase the rents when you have a mortgage.On the 5th of every month at exactly 5 pm my wife and I jump into our van and make our rounds to collect our rents from several apartment buildings we own.

This is not to say it won't happen over the next 4 months, but we are rounding up the wagons should we need to act.Check your leases!

Mine were/ are ( student loans) at about 4 percent rounded up.

I’m curious what people who are currently investing in Austin and surrounding areas (buda/Kyle/San Marcos/round rock etc.) are willing to accept for negative cash flow in order to get in on appreciation?

I bought a fixer with cash in Round Rock with the goal of flipping it.

If I round up to $20k each that comes out to $67/sqft.
