The midterm/seasonal setup works well here too — snowbirds from Oct–April are definitely a thing.Management rates depend on how you run it: long term rents 8-10%, mid term/seasonal might be closer to 12-20%, and full STR I've seen 20%-25%. 

And it’s why Louisville continues to be what it has always been: steady, durable, and consistently consistent.Here's the twist:The more national office distress you see,the more capital rotates into industrial, logistics, retail, and mixed-use redevelopment.And Kentucky is positioned right in that slipstream.Investors love stability.Companies love access.Workforces love affordability.And right as NAR is projecting double-digit home sales growth in 2026 and a 4% bump in prices, Kentucky is stacking real economic foundations, not headlines.

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?

There are so many nuances around it, why not use a DSCR lender who does not source or season funds to close? 

I’m looking to connect with local investors—whether you’re just starting out or already seasoned.

A life WORTH living, one thats not measured in cashflow alone, but in service, alignment, and the people I’m raising and serving along the way.Here’s a lesson I learned the hard way:Success is waking up and building anyway, even when no one claps, no one shows up, and no one fully understands what you’re building yet.If you’re in that season right now, hear this clearly.. 

Still, uncertainty looms large: the absence of market data leaves policymakers navigating blind, while mixed signals from Fed officials suggest internal debate over the appropriate pace of policy adjustment.Inflation Concerns: Price Stability Takes PriorityInflation seems to be presenting itself as the bigger issue over the other side of the Fed's dual mandate-- employment.

Great question — building a solid cash buyer list is a big part of consistency in wholesaling.A lot of investors I work with in Florida use a mix of strategies like public records searches, connecting with active flippers, and networking with agents who work distressed properties or investment-focused deals.I’ve also seen that quality matters more than quantity — a smaller list of serious buyers tends to outperform a large list of inactive contacts.If you're still active in Tampa, happy to connect and compare criteria.
