Should I even consider a property if I plan on moving in 5 years?
My plan is jumping to another career field within 3 years so more than likely that would mean me moving to a different state. I am currently living in an apartment and pay just about $1000 a month for it right now, I figured why not shell out $300 more a month or so for a 3-4 bedroom home (Texas is kinda cheap I suppose) and rent the other rooms out while living in it, and if I happen to move then I would hire a property manger to take care of things. Is this even worth it or a good plan?
