Thanks for the tips Ashish!

I'd love to utilize their expertise when assessing a property since they are local but I'm not sure what the general expectation is when I don't have a tangible property and I have not entered into contract to work with them yet.Some questions I have are: local regulations/permitting timeline, property's potential from their perspective, landscaping/amenities cost estimate (they also help facilitate this).

I’d love tips from others in similar markets:What platforms or methods have worked best for attracting quality tenants in small towns?

But at what point did you consider yourself at a "tipping point" or at a good spot to invest in a 2nd investment property and how did you go about doing so?

Quote from @Shameka Henson: Hey Ya'll, thank you to everyone for so many informative responses and actually reaching out in text or callsSo I'm getting my first BRRRR ready for the appraisal process and need some tips and tricks.Some tips I've heard - 1. do Not put keyed locks on rooms if you plan to rent by the rooms (put them on afterwards)2.

Any tips and recommendations would be helpful thank you.  

It flips the online story quickly.Safety & curb appeal: Better lighting, landscaping, and visible security changes perception immediately.Small, consistent steps like these can move a C-minus to a C+ surprisingly fast.

I have a property that i've been doing LTRs on and want to turn it into a MTR. Was wondering how can I gage the need in Austin TX and whether now is a good time to turn my LTR into a mid-term.Thanks,
