Hey everyone, I'm an undergraduate student at the University of Utah, studying Finance/Real Estate, exploring real estate, and currently diving headfirst into the industry by purchasing land and developing 9 single-family homes from scratch.

A good way to gauge interest is to check Furnished Finder and Facebook housing groups for Austin to see how often listings are getting inquiries and what average rates look like.If your property is in a good location (near hospitals, downtown, or major employers), it could be a great time to make the switch.

Increasing your limit will in turn improve your utilization assuming you aren't spending more I usually apply for a new card every 6 months or so - sure you take a hard inquiry (falls off after 2 years, if I remember right) but the increase in credit limit and automatic decrease in utilization actually results in an improvement in my credit score 

Exactly what you said, and also offer a customer service line for phone inquiries. 

Someone to respond to tenants and inquiries.

Hi everyone,I’ve been getting more inquiries from traveling nurses, and several experienced landlords told me that I don’t need to heavily screen the nurse themselves because they’re already thoroughly vetted by their employer and staffing agency.

January tends to pick up, so if you can get ahead with marketing and photos, you’ll be in better shape.When you start screening tenants, pay close attention to any prior rental-related debts, open collections, or bankruptcies...those are some of the biggest red flags you can catch early.For leasing, get your listing on as many platforms as possible (not just Zillow), and respond fast to every inquiry.

My issues are simple: a huge lack of communication and timely responses to my inquiries... whether via emails or voicemails.
