Are you focusing more on public records, direct mail, social media, or data-driven targeting?

I don't think you have to target a specific neighborhood. 

Quote from @Christopher Rubio: Quote from @Drew Sygit: @Christopher Rubio Section 8 really should be targeted for Class C properties.We manage almost 100 S8 leases in the Metro Detroit market.While S8 may address tenant nonpayment issues, there are other challenges with tenant-portion of rent payments, tenant damages, dealing with S8 Annual Inspections and dealing with the nonresponsive caseworkers (underpaid & overworked).It also does NOT pay more than market rent.

At $600K, the numbers only really work if you can differentiate with design, amenities, or targeting longer stays.

I’m seeing a mix of:• Entry-level value-add SFRs in South Austin• Heavy fixer flips with good spreads• Small infill lots that builders like• Occasional higher-end fixers in West Austin• A few lower-priced opportunities outside the cityCurious what everyone else is targeting right now.What’s your current buy box?

I encourage you to get familiar with criteria like Financing, Property Class, Location, Purchase Price, Rehab Costs, and Risk Target (to name a few).From my own experience, I learned to be flexible with expectations and timeline.

If you’ve done something similar, know which neighborhoods are worth targeting, or can recommend agents, lenders, or contractors familiar with investing, I’d love to hear your insights.

With inflation still above target, they’ll likely hold off on another rate cut until December’s meeting.

Let us submit our own comp pack up front and give a clear appeal path when value misses, with target turn times.

I reccomend having a clear budget and timeline ready and know your target resale or rental numbers.
