Consider taking advantage of high interest rates by buying first trust deeds, currently paying 9.5% and outperforming most new rental purchases.

It's in Rosharon, Texas and property taxes seem high at 3.19%3.

The forgettable $175 ADR listings will struggle but high end and eco are doing well. 

@Ryan Larsen what @Nicholas L. states is pretty true.Being a PM is NOT a high-paying, often not even a well-paying job.If you're set on that strategy, start calling up local large apartment complexes and asking if they are hiring.

@Theresa HarrisWhat bank(s) or products give you high yield percentage now?

I have found that it is much more beneficial to hire a CPA that is highly qualified in real estate rather than one locally. 

@Dionne Ladson The proof of the pudding is in the eating.True private money (e.g. a high-net worth at your local REIA) is going to be more flexible, but make you vet them before diving into a borrowing relationship.

Due to the current high interest rates and prices, many investors are choosing to increase their down payment to ensure a positive cash flow even in the not so "nice" areas and plan to refinance in the future.

Hey @Seallington Touch, Given we are accountants, we cannot promote our services on BP as its against the rules.To help in your search:be sure to find an accountant who is willing to grow with you, and is not too high priced fee-wise.
