I have a good relationship with a roofer who will write me letters saying the roof is good if it is and I replace roofs that are not in good shape. 

Remember, clear communication is key to keeping a strong working relationship.

I do, I want higher quality people and lots of people are moving to Austin

That has reduced the loitering by homeless, and criminal elements a lot, but we do still occasionally have some issues in the parking lots and the areas outside the courtyard.

Without detail, appraisers will tend to assume low-medium quality of materials finishes and the like.

There is also a large restaurant company here that I have been told needs rentals for a shorter term but pays very well to house staff that they bring in from out of town to work for them during high season.

Hi @Brian MalavskyFor us in Columbus, squeezing in STR guests between MTR tenants can be profitable for reducing vacancies and increasing rental income, especially with platforms like Airbnb or VRBO.

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+, zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680, some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

To have high rents. 

Costs are also a bit high right now and it’s a substantial investment, likely $1000s per day to run at a scale that would be useful to the community.
