The demand for MTRs in Austin has been quite steady, especially with travel nurses, contractors, and people relocating for tech jobs.

Good habit!

You are in the heart of tourism and travel in that neck of the woods so there’s tons of competition.

Long story short the day my tenants paid the bulk of the mortgage we did a lot more fun activities like vacation/ traveling  that was a large part do to the fact my wife and I were not dependent on working 40 hours per week to pay a mortgage.  

I’m using this time to learn, build better money habits, and continue saving.

A garage that is not properly insulated may be uncomfortable to live in and may not meet local building codes for habitation.4.

Hi @Jacob Bejarano, Many successful investors start in their 40s or 50s with strong income, discipline, and savings habits already in place.. all big advantages.

Platforms to use:Furnished Finder is a big one for corporate and traveling professionals (nurses, consultants, tech workers).Airbnb/VRBO can work too, but corporate folks usually prefer something more “stable” than nightly.

Within 3 hours of Weston, I’d look at West Palm/Fort Lauderdale (steady tourism + business travel), Naples/Marco Island (higher-end, but pricier buy-in), and the Space Coast (Cocoa Beach/Melbourne) if you want more affordable options.

I traveled from NY to Milwaukee over a decade ago and bought my first rental and never looked back.
