Dealing with the accountant first, who cares?

I would be careful about doing something in an effort to "make positive cash flow".Section 8 has its pros but there are an equal number of drawbacks.

I provide all built in appliances but not the fridge unless it came with one and I don't care about it.

Well it will need to be life changing events like having kids, new job, divorce, taking care family members etc but the rule of thumb is to live there for at least one year then being able to rent it out and converting it into an investment property.

Thank you76542 is going to be the best zip code to be in. 76543 you are going to want to tread carefully and be sure to check the specific neighborhood and street you are looking at. 76549 has 2 divisions that are very different.

Be careful of SVDP.

I don't care what anyone online says if you live there and have tenants at your home it will be a job. 

But unless they advertise the seller finance (and be careful as most are really bad deals), then you'll need to talk them into it.

I say, if everyone is talking about it, it's probably too late.Be careful not to reject someone's advice in a city you haven't heard of much.

Since it’s the largest home in the neighborhood, that can be a bit of a challenge, but you can turn that to your advantage with the right strategy.First, consider tweaking the price slightly—either lowering it a bit more to attract attention or pricing it closer to the higher end if you’re targeting buyers who value the upgrades and space.
