This list is separated into the Essentials List that doesn’t take much thought and can pretty much all be ordered from Amazon.

I came across a Triplex 5 miles from my home, 2 blocks from a good college, and basically across the street from an A+ popular highly sought out school district. 

School District Challenges: Have you seen TPS or surrounding districts aggressively filing "Complaints Against Valuation" for new sales that exceed the current assessment?

Its in a nice area right by the Inglewood historic district.

Hi everyone,I’m currently based in Budapest, Hungary and have been analyzing local residential rental properties from a buy-to-let investment perspective.One thing that stood out to me is that in several central districts of Budapest, it’s still possible to acquire a 1–2 bedroom apartment for around 40M–50M HUF (~$105K–$130K USD), depending on condition and location.Long-term rental rates for similar units are currently ranging between 280,000–350,000 HUF per month (€700–€900), especially in areas with strong demand from young professionals and the international expat community.This would put gross rental yields in the range of approximately 7%–9%, which seems noticeably higher than what many investors are currently seeing in major U.S. metro areas.Of course, there are other considerations when investing internationally — legal procedures, property management, tenant relations, etc.Out of curiosity:Has anyone here explored residential real estate opportunities in Central or Eastern Europe as a way to diversify geographically while maintaining cash flow?

Essentially a one stop shop.

Historic District - This was harder than anticipated.

I am currently looking at median home prices, property taxes, rental trends, crime, walkability and school district quality.

That is your baseline.Build a cushion into your numbers: (1) If the area reassesses on sale: use purchase price x tax rate, (2) If the area reassesses in cycles: assume a 15-25%  jump at the next reassessment. (3) If the school district constantly passes new funding measures, add another 10% buffer.And yes, pay attention to local ballot measures.

That is why follow up is where the real leverage is.If you are targeting out of state owners in Austin, here is a structured approach that stays compliant:Pull accurate ownership data firstMake sure you are pulling from:• County appraisal district• Secretary of State if it is an LLC• Registered agent infoIf it is an LLC, the registered agent filing is often more reliable than the mailing address on tax records.Use skip tracing platforms, not random scrapingServices like:• PropStream• Batch• BeenVerified or similar consumer compliant databasesThese can provide phone numbers and sometimes emails.
