2nd Property after Primary Home

Hello All!

I currently live in Austin, TX in a home that I’ll be renting out in the next month or two when I relocate to Nashville for work. I am wanting to expand my portfolio and buy a multifamily rental here in Austin, Nashville or any other market that makes sense to grow with. Any tips, help or suggestions would be amazing. 

As a side note: my family owns my childhood home that sits on a lot that is zoned for multiple homes. I planned to develop another home in the back half but a contractor inquired about renting the lot for their construction trailer so I’m pausing my development.

 Speak with a lender, see what is possible. Understand you will need to put 20-25% down on a multi-family.
