Just an intro from Texas
I'm a disabled vet with a lake house near Austin. It needs some work, but I used the VA home loan when the lake was extremely low. I'm not sure if renting is the best option, but first I need to move. For now I'm trying to decide if I should pay to rent or if I should BRRRR in San Angelo. Credit is an issue but right now it's a waiting game so I may end up renting for a bit though I'd much rather not. It's a frustrating situation.
I've spent some time pouring over BiggerPockets youtube videos and am going through the book on rental property investing again. I'm learning! Loving the resources here too!
