@Dean HalpinConnecting with local wholesalers and investors is a great step towards building your network and gaining insights into the Austin, Texas real estate market.

Just post them hereI have local and OOS properties

I would get in some local Facebook groups and see about finding a co-host that can help you with it all.

Joining a local REI Association is excellent too.

Although themed houses aren’t massively popular locally (or maybe we haven’t gotten there yet), data suggests that unique properties that offer something special or that are a different type of construction seem to becoming increasingly popular.Are you noticing the same thing?

In San Diego I believe rents can only be raised by 10% per year (or 5% + local rate of inflation, whichever is lower)The idea of evicting a long-time tenant is awful, but I realize being a landlord involves difficult decisions and the real estate business is a business.Thank you for your thoughts!

For free resources and data, websites like the, FRED, Statistica, YCharts, Trading Economics, and Local government or chamber of commerce are great places to start.

Go local where you can make a difference.

The  local power company and Energy buyer contracts are set, land-lease contracts are set, and the solar equipment are all in place.

You could also talk to some local wholesalers about what you want, and they can start looking for fixer uppers matching your criteria.
