And I am not going to take a strong judgment on politics of it all since I am strived to not be ideological.The real issue with Austin is minor property crimes and the Police, in general, is ineffective in dealing with them. 

@Johnny DurayDefinitely relay in your messages to guests that you strive a 5 * review.

If you read the moratorium order you will see they strive to cut us off at the kneecaps and make a socialized housing situation, but it has enough holes you can drive a truck through. 

Create a "nesting" account, strive for a 8%+ annual ROI, with REITS this is rather easy at this time. 

I’m striving for FIRE through investing in real estate and index funds/ retirement accounts.

I can't speak for other rehabbers, but I like to ensure that my properties are a little nicer (and have some appraisal-enhancing features) versus the other properties in the area.On the rare occasions I'll get an opinion of value, the goal is to determine not what the after-repair value is, but to determine what I should be doing to the property to get the most bang for my buck in terms of resale and appraisal value.I'll sit down with my appraiser, and he'll tell me what the property is worth if I do a typical renovation to match the neighborhood, and then he'll make recommendations on what I can do to increase the resale value and the appraisal value at retail, as I don't want the resale value to be limited by the appraised value.My appraiser is more of an adviser on what upgrades I should do, in addition to just giving me his opinion of value for different levels of rehab.If you want to help investors, that's what you should strive to do...not just do a standard BPO that may or may not reflect what the property will look like and that doesn't help the investor determine what renovations should and should not be undertaken.You can value the home in good condition and compare it with like comparables from around the area.

So at a minimum, savvy investors want to buy at 90% of MV, and most strive to buy much cheaper than that.That said, $30k+ for a rental rehab sounds very high, so hopefully you're over-estimating and your investor can in fact come in under MV.

I am really dedicated to know and strive all their is to be successful in this business.

That's something that many investors strive for, so it's always good to hear when someone actually achieves it.

Most Realtors are better suited and strive to be "buyer agents" where they spend 40 hours a week meeting people at houses.
