Finding a good contractor I’m sure is hard! Fortunately my wife and I have done only cosmetic work on our properties and have never needed a contractor. Congrats on getting those two properties!

@Shuang Wang

Absolutely agree about those two zip codes you recommended. Are the properties you own in those zip codes as well?

Cheers!

Congrats on starting your Real Estate business back in 2017! Amazing you started back in the 70s in Honolulu (beautiful place!). Just looking to makes some Austin friends with similar interests and share stories. Have been able to connect with some great people so far!

@Dave Steadman

Congrats on the 5th rental Dave! And I’m sure you love Red Stripe 😁

Real estate investing is a slow process but if you put enough sweat into it and become extreme frugal with every dollar earned we can go far!

Are all you investments in Florida?

Cheers,

Josh

I agree for sure. Realistically my wife and I are probably 2 years out from being able to invest in one but have seen some west of I-35 in round rock (don’t go east as the black prairie soil is horrendous for all the settlement issues). They are mostly in not such good shape so would have to put it a good amount of forced appreciation to get them rented out.

@Brady Bitter

That’s awesome! All the Austin high prices are overflowing to the RR/Cedar park areas. Long term strategy is trying to buy one property a year. Hopefully a 2-4 plex in order to accelerate overall cash flow.

@Brady Bitter

First of all congrats on all the investment success you and your wife have been able to accumulate! Austin is for sure the lifestyle city my wife and I love as well. Currently getting my cash flow through renting out single-family homes per room so we have six tenants so far for a first two homes. The only way was to get out of Austin and go a bit north to round rock and Cedar Park. Have you looked at those areas?

@Junior Soares

I speak Portuguese too!! My wife is from Spain. Is there anyway you can move to Austin earlier... 😂

I’ll send you a private message now!

Abraço,

Josh

@Junior Soares

That’s amazing Junior! Congrats on taking on a duplex. Just read your investment descriptions and extremely happy you and your wifes success! I won’t be able to wait until you move here in late 2020!

My wife and I would love to get our hands on a duplex but have only been able to get our hands on SFH due the elevated cost in Austin. Would love to connect via phone sometime to here what you recommend about this new build we are under contract for as it will be our primary residence in central East Austin. Btw do you speak Portuguese?, going off your last name :)
