South Austin Duplex Househack

[Jordan Moorhead]

Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Austin.

Purchase price: $500,000

I just closed on my next Househack in South Austin! This 3/2 and 2/1 duplex was listed at $525,000, I got it under contract at $500,000 and it appraised at $522,000. Immediately I'll paint the outside white with black trim at the suggestion of @jessraden. Once both tenants move out in a month we'll get in and remodel the place! The goal is to increase the value enough that I can refinance into a conventional loan next year and do this again with another FHA loan in a year or two.
