If anyone could help me with what city you think would be a better investment and why?

Am I better off not using my LLC and just getting hard money under just myself?

Pros better rates than DSCR and no prepayment penalties.2.

We have been working with a lender that is a family friend but they are encouraging us to shop around for lenders and search for better rates.- Any recommendations on local lenders in the greater Austin area? 

I know the covid boom treated STR investors quite well however I am under the motto of, "no better time like the present".

Better cash flow, but more tenant issues in multi-family. 

Figured out via simple math that building/selling spec homes was not a better proposition than selling lots outright.6.

For rentals, aA better thing would be to look at population and job growth in the market.

. ($244K ish) This is obviously far better than any bank can give me with interests rates around 7.5% here non owner occupied.

Are you trying to reduce turnover, find better tenants, fill units faster...
