(I'm not there yet.)Finding (reliable) resources on the topic is tough.

I think we've all been having a tough go of getting deals done in Austin recently.

Its tough and it sucks, but it WORKS!!

If our housing market is tough for whatever reason... high interest rates, high housing prices, lower housing availability, these things will all cause rental rates to increase.

It's a tough business, but rewarding if you can get over the hurdle. 

So hard in fact that you want to quit.I personally recommend that anyone who is having a tough time in the 1st year or so  quit.  

That is a tough question...If you sell you'll have to pay all those closing costs including Realtor fees and seller concessions.If you do sell and can acquire two new properties they probably won't cash flow nearly as well.

My equity and cash flow today is directly correlated to the people that I've leveraged in Indy, the only thing I brought to the table was trust and grit to get through the tough times.I'd suggest you do it the way I did it (since you're a seasoned investor), start from ground up, learn the ropes in that market and don't do the turnkey route.

I have also been getting all of my finances in order in preparation for my first deal.Austin is challenging due to the fact that it is a great rental market, but it is also a super hot seller's market...tough to get into SFH's at a price point that will cash flow. 

Renters are tough on property, in general.
