So I am considering all options now:- saving up for a year and pausing my contributions to my retirement accounts- HELOC (low on the totem pole because I don’t want to put my primary residence at risk)- Trying to take a loan against my retirement accounts if I can do so without penaltyLooking forward to hear your thoughts, thank you!

Still planning on getting a property in Austin at some point but for now we're hitting pause and focusing on this first investment. 

There has been a number of water and fire incidents that give me pause and concern. 

I have attended a few REIA's meetings, but it looks like those are put on pause for a little while longer.

If it's small and it's not guaranteed to get through this Covid slump then I would take pause and assess if you could rent these apartments to non-students. 

I'd pause on anything with a HOA, lot of hate directed at STR right now in KC....so I would expect HOAs to take a tougher stance and either add in a ban or enforcement of existing bans.

What my ideal property would be:Minimum 2 units Close to event/ attractions- Beach, shopping, entertainment, etc.Economically middle-class area I have one close to where I already live, which hits most of the markers- but there are a few things that are causing me to pause. 1- the price is too dang high for the area, it has been listed though for 158 days with multiple decreases, so I think there is wiggle room  (400->350K) I'd like to get it to 285K 2- I am unsure of the rent currently being charged, local rent is going for between 1K to 2K depending on the quality.

We pull raw data and run call / text campaigns, also do a lot of social media ads, they have been expensive and producing lower quality results recently than earlier in the year so we put them on pause to adjust the campaigns.

I know I'm going to be capped on personal mortgages in my name after another few mortgages - at least that's what I hear (I've heard this can vary).Should I take pause having so much debt? 

Currently on pause.
