I’ve got a really great REALTOR® to investor blueprint. It’s a presentation by one of my mentors, an extremely successful agent-investor and he’s just a few short years into real estate. It was part of a mastermind from earlier this week, so very fresh and relevant. Message me if you’d like to see it

As indicated above, it all depends on your purchase price and rental comps.  Is there a reason you are looking at that specific neighborhood?  That particular area may not be the fastest growing in comparison to New Braunfels if you are looking to attain appreciation.  

The IH-35 corridor from San Antonio to Austin has and will continue to grow quickly.  Many people seem to be migrating from the Austin area towards San Marcos and New Braunfels due to the rapid price increases in Austin over the last 5 years or so.  

Finally, I utilize three MLS boards from south of San Antonio to north of Austin so I can cover all bases of potential comps. This is helpful because comps from the various MLS boards don't share information with each other.

Are you planning on being a REALTOR® there? If I understand you correctly you would rather transfer your TX license and get CO license. You can hang your license as inactive (you can get paid on referrals only) with some companies like mine. Have you done GRI classes? That's 90 hours.
Possible other idea that may work as well 

Hi Ben, I didn’t separate the meters. I understand that you can’t charge more for utilities than the tenants are using.   Since it’s impossible to create a true cost per side, I just waited for renewal time and made adjustments based on fair market rents. 

I wasn’t sure how long I would be holding the property, and I didn’t think find a  cost effective way to do it. 

Good luck and let me know if you find any way that makes sense. 

Just curious on the resolution for this. I’m buying a duplex with same issue.
