Why do you desire to get everyone on a 1 year lease? 

Their contract listed rent as $100/mo discount to the desired rent for mowing grass.

Curious if anyone invests in the area or is a current resident and could share their opinions (good or bad) about the area.I’m looking to buy and hold small multifamily and ran some initial analysis of properties and a fair amount pass the 1% rule, but I’m unsure of the desirability of the area.

I know there's a lot of factors involved in determining a market's desirability for investments, but on a very basic scale, is finding historical data that reveals such strong metrics in a market a sign to invest, or does it signal that the market is now hot?

I don't currently have a mentor but I reached out to someone to be my mentor simply because they're doing what I desire (I haven't heard anything yet).

Most feel confident buying & holding here so in the desirable locations the rental income just maintains while you gain appreciation equity.

I would sell the least desirable poorest condition properties or those in the lower end neighborhoods.

HIGHLY desirable area with rent rates no less then $1K and that's the low end.

My best advice would be to spend a lot of time vetting and building a team in your desired markets.

I’m looking at my 1st investment house to purchase and rent out, $200,000, 4 bedroom, 1400sq ft house in Keller TX with 8000Sq ft yard in a highly desirable schools.
