So by renting as a fully furnished rental with a lease accommodation the school year ( although ultimately the tenant decided to rent year round, she initially was looking for a school year lease), I was able to generate income above the LTR rate of$18000 annually, or $108,000, less the net cost of furnishings of $27,000, or $81,000.  

If you think something is going to cost 480 dollars a year, round up to 500 or a thousand.

Additionally, I bring hands-on expertise in general contracting, providing a well-rounded skill set that I believe can contribute significantly to any real estate venture.I am particularly interested in connecting with like-minded individuals who are passionate about real estate investment in Connecticut.

Lets face it, for banks, $1,000,000 is still 'small' in their world as it takes about the same amount of work to do the paperwork / DD on almost any size commercial loan.Thirdly, even if they did, they would require other security.Fourthly, quality NNN investments do not yield 10%.Fifthly, even if it does generate an NOI of 10%, the loan is going to eat up much / most of that (leaving DSCR aside) leaving little if any free cash flow before taxes.If you could find the kind of opportunities you are describing (Credit Tenant, NNN, Levered, 10% Free Cash Flow), there would be a lineup round the block looking to partner with you (including ME!

Everyone who came to my meetup, this is the first unit, in the downstairs back, which is finished and leased up at $1,390 now (target $1,400, rounded). 

Round Rock is doing well. 

What are your thoughts on Round Rock and Plugerville. 

If you want to go outside of Austin, look at Pflugerville, Round Rock, and Cedar Park.

Gonna put 15% down on a SFH investment property, budgeting the normal 10% for vacancy and prop maintenance but based off of Brandon's $182 (rounded up to $200) for capex seems like i'm always breaking even on COC return.

We bought as a second home so didn't really go into it with the right objectiveness for buying a STR, but only had a few months cash flow positive while we owned it.I think if your focus is STR, looking between Summit and downtown would have better year round appeal to renters.
