If so, are your amenities worth the extra price?

McKinney is thriving, but so are other parts of North Texas, and a broader perspective could reveal other great opportunities.Here’s what I’ve observed managing a significant number of rentals in the area:Bedrooms and Layouts:3-bed, 2-bath homes consistently attract the largest pool of tenants and have the highest occupancy rates.4-bedroom homes have grown in demand, especially with the rise of remote work, as tenants look for extra space to use as a home office.Square footage is less critical than number of beds and baths.Supply and Demand:McKinney’s growth is driving demand, but the quality of the location matters greatly.

So are you spending $100s of dollars per property prior to the tax deed auction for title research? 

A friend of mine in Austin once negotiated a partial buy back option when the seller realized they might want back in if the market soared.. from what I read in Bloomberg, that approach can work well if both sides trust each other.If the tenants’ rent covers your carrying costs, that’s a nice cushion, but you still need to clarify that buy back clause.

So are you trying to avoid pulling permits? 

I think it's about the best time there is to outside of the past to invest and acquire properties.I just recently found an article by Julie Taylor from realtor.com that was posted December 10th that has some predictions on housing markets where "Home Sales Are Set to Soar" with Colorado Springs listed as number 1 with expected YoY sales increase of 27.1% and Denver expected to increase 13.6% YoY quoting Christine Dupont-Patz who is a real estate agent in the Denver area. 

Although, I am an advocate of documenting and creating systems, in the first few years all of your systems are going to change many times and so are everyone's roles within the company.

If so, are there any steps I need to take that would allow this to happen?

Quote from @Daniel Reed: @Jonathan Greene So, are you suggesting that this issue is indeed driving investors away from Florida?

So are these BRRRR’s or candidates for BRRRR’s?
