What area should I be more concentrated on Austin or Houston? 

I believe one of the things that I have found is that continuing to learn as much as I can has allowed me to start to focus on the what I want to work toward in the future as far as where I want to concentrate on in investing.

I’m a new investor solely concentrating on the BRRRR method, and man I’m having a hard time finding leads.

CMBS is still used for oddball hard to finance properties or properties so big that regular lenders do not want that much concentration of risk in one loan.CMBS legal fees to assume or originate a loan can be much higher than regular bank loans.

I am into the buy and hold investments with a concentration in STF.

We concentrated on building our brand online and throughout the communities in the Austin area. 

All of those Opportunity Zones in N Minneapolis would suddenly be really worth the investment if all the gangbangin scum were not in such concentrated areas.

Currently, I'm just looking to slowly build my portfolio with a buy/hold strategy and mostly concentrating on apartments/condos as my vehicle.

I just want to be free and clear so when we move to the next property we can concentrate on the cashflow business side vs the juggling of the credit card payments.

STNL 3 million and below about 75% are all cash purchases and maybe 25% financed. 4 to 6 million and up about 75% financed and 25% cash ( the investors even with all cash generally do not like putting into one single property that high of a concentration of cash).So for example depending on your 1031 proceeds for your first exchange and whether you will add more funds to that can depend on what type of property you can afford.
