Areas near oil production hubs could experience economic booms, creating localized opportunities for real estate investments.Beyond these broader economic initiatives, Bessent has been vocal about extending or even expanding the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).

If you look in another location I would stick to the 2 you are already investing in and expand your footprint.

I look forward to connecting with like minded individuals and expanding my network within the real estate community!

With 30 years of residential construction experience and having built several homes in the past few years, I bring a strong foundation in project execution and quality craftsmanship.Right now, I’m seeking lenders to help me unlock home equity for property acquisitions and to expand my portfolio.

Conversely, On homes I have wanted to expand,  I have removed closets from bedrooms in order to label these as studies or offices, so that I could build additions that are labelled "bedrooms" (customized to my needs),  in order to avoid the requirements of expanding a 2 car garage to a 3 car garage (a local requirement when building beyond 4 bedrooms).  

Expanding to a 2nd or 3rd property is a big step.

@Shay YaoYou're on the right track by identifying specific areas, but expanding your search could help you find the best deal.

If you expand your rental business in the future, an LLC may be worth considering, but for now, keeping good records and securing appropriate insurance should provide adequate protectionThis post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

You may not feel the need when you own just 1-2 properties, but it may be more relevant if you plan to expand. 

We currently use Hospitable for 12 properties, and it's working fine, no major issues, and I know they've been expanding with new features.
