I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

With the results of Beryl being tallied you can bet that some of the companies will be tightening restrictions and some may stop writing.  

It would be much easier and safer for you to do it yourself.

You may have success with Multifamily DSCR Loans for 5-10 units - then really once you are at 11+ its going to be a whole additional/different set of lenders - commercial mortgage brokers probably your best search/bet if its significantly above 6 units in your buy box

I'll definitely look into it.My guess is that a 1031 is your best bet.

I'd also bet if you went to check the filter, they still haven't changed it since your handyman put one in last year.

@Daniel Judge You bet.

Lastly if any dangers, from ADT Crime map I found San Antonio to be a bit more safer than Dallas and Houston. 

I'm assuming you used FHA on your duplex in 2021 so that 5% down conventional would probably be a good bet. 

The architects also probably have a pretty good handle on the costs of construction because their plans are getting created for a certain price point.If you don't find what you are looking for, then it is a very solid bet that it's not economically viable.
