Jim,, we are seeing that here in PDX as well... and I am good with a market that does not have multiple offers.. it makes it very hard for people and agents to make a living if you only have a 1 in 10 shot of buying the house you want..so some stability and slowing down in my mind is a good thing.but what I see on BP is people read the hyperbole articles that misquote things.. and the next thing you know they are worried its 2008 all over again.. which ( and I could be wrong of course) but none of my bankers or those in know in finance world think is a risk.. only risk would be metros losing major employment.. then it affects everyone landlords businesss and prices..

We are huge fans of Dave Ramsey.

We are a similar demographic to Austin which is trending slIghtly down this year.

We are currently renting, but would love a primary residence that also makes money. 

We are shopping for a 4-8 unit apartment complex in Kansas City where I live. 

We are also looking for tips on how to pull together a team to work with.

All of this has been very helpful since we are also out town investors.   

We are extremely excited to get into our first deal!

We are one of the largest renovation lenders in the country, so happy to discuss both, pros/cons, etc. 

I am buying a 34 acre tract in Oregon closing in Dec.. for 7.4 million cash / well I am getting some financing of course.. but the owner bought it 40 years or so ago.. for probably less than 50k.. no need to be a developer its one and done for him  we are peeling off 5 acres for senior living I have it pre sold for 2.2 million cash.. and then I will build 90 homes on the balance of it.. but it makes sense our MAI came back and lots are worth 140k each .. but we have to pay 30k each to develop those of course but still nice margin just on the dirt.. and then we go vertical and make some really big money..
