I think you'll struggle to find that.

So, interest rates still present a major headwind to the Austin market by making ownership more expensive in a market that already struggles with affordability.What if I’m a buyer?

Intitutional people like us are going to struggle with a $50K loan.

@Jay Mayer I had a similar situation and struggled to approach my longtime tenant about a rent increase.

I don't have financing for lack of trying....I have been working on financing for the last 9 months or so....I have been struggling for all the reasons you outlined and am not willing to walk away so am paying out of pocket to get this across the finish line.

TONS of SFR listings in the Troost corridor heading up to the river and then curving East along independence Ave.But they present many challenges; vacancies  (due to below C market tenant pool), increased maintenance and repair costs (due to below C market), and increased cap ex due to homes in this particular region being older (many century homes).Then, even if at the end of the year it does well from a financial analysis standpoint, you may struggle to find the necessary and diligent and high performing property mgmt necessary to manage said property…so then if you self manage OOS, you will need a strong ‘boots on the ground’ team.many challenges come with these ‘$ sexy’ properties.

I struggle to understand why these opportunities are good investments.

I also have struggled to find any other company to insure my STR.Thanks in advance for any and all help!
