It's exciting and can be overwhelming at the same time! 

The home also needs to be built after 1975. 

The ROW @ Dietz Elkhorn is a 27 duplex community between San Antonio and Boerne.

You'll get to write off any home expenses against your rental income as well. 

I travel the state a little bit and would be glad to chat sometime.

I would definitely start off renting most units as LTR and slowly renovate and furnish units to do MTR, having a mix of both. 

After 45 + years as a real estate investor, broker, lender, fund manager and syndicator, I’ve become aware that the “dream” of many investors and investor “hopefuls” is to be able to generate enough cash flow to live off their real estate holdings and accumulate enough wealth to make “work” optional.

With everything paid off, they’re looking to slow down but are hesitant to sell due to capital gains considerations.Purchase Price: $1,750,000.00Downpayment: $400,000.00 - Will do a 1031 - Selling two of my SF properties for the downpayment (bought for 120k + 146k back in 2017 & 2015). 

Networking with local wholesalers and real estate agents who specialize in investment properties can also lead to off-market opportunities.

You might consider: Consulting a Real Estate Attorney – Your emails may possibly prove misrepresentation.Requesting Public Records – A FOIA request might reveal why the city denied you but later approved the duplex.Escalating to City Officials – Bringing this to local officials could expose inconsistencies.Exploring Tax Write-Offs – A CPA might help offset your financial loss, if it is possible.I’d definitely seek legal advice.
