Official Austin MSA data will be released in a week and I will post that report when it’s available. 

When purchasing this deed what steps should I take to ensure I get the property correctly?

@Bjorn Ahlblad That last data is really interesting as an aspect to increase property value!

They've all been properly educated on the 203k, had their 203k experience independently verified, and had their financials vetted to ensure they can pay for the start up costs and ongoing expenses associated with rehab loans.

I want to ensure this is legal before I put dollar amounts to the offer:Seller still owes on the mortgage for the property so seller financing is not doable.

@Anthony CarusoI do not have any market insights or data to back up increasing demand in the Hobomobos or similar prefabricated modular shipping container homes, but I believe there should be a growing niche market and right now there isn't enough awareness.

Those data points would be the size of the property (each unit breakdown, what current rents are, what you are putting down, is there any other income on the property, how much maintenance/repairs need to be done, etc.) 

I talk about this a lot on my YT channel and discuss the data - in a nutshell: the most likely scenario we will see is that the market will continue to appreciate until supply has met demand or until prices are so high that demand slows down.

It takes me gobs of time each year to do all my data entry, I'd love to hire a fantastic person to leverage my time, never bothered costing it out...figured that if I had to ask I couldn't afford it.  

I would suggest leveraging realtor.com as a "zillow-like" service as realtor.com is basically a cumulative MLS for every on-market listing in the country (with only data not available to the public filtered out).
