@John Warren Yes actually this was one of the initial positions that came to mind.

Looking at a current listing in Austin (MLS number 5473496), this is 3503 E 17th St, Unit B4.

I have either kept their rents lower than the area average market rents or made a small downward adjustment in rent in conjunction with not raising the rent for the current year to help offset the initial cost for the new addition of them paying for their heat.

Think duplex without the multi-family title.However, given your stage and goals, you should also consider house hacking, especially since you initially considered a multi-family property.

1) If the property is nice, has the right amenities, photographs well, and is operated properly, you should do fine in Landers and Johnson Valley.2) I do think people looking to stay closer to the park are going to look at Johnson Valley further down the list but if it comes to it, they will book in Johnson Valley too and there are plenty of people who want to be as far away from other people as possible.

When we turn a property, we have the move-out inspection report with pictures (available to the owner) and the repair bids are provided to the owner before any work is initiated. 

I would like to be on that list too!

How do I connect with people that know people who own land and commercial real estate so we don’t have to depend on “whats currently listed for sale” in order to find what I need?

For Winter 2024, more affordable Midwestern and Northeastern markets dominated the Top 20 list, with Ohio alone taking 5 slots.

We saw it on the market, but priced quite high initially.
