Start small, focus on building relationships, and take advantage of Conroe’s growing market to achieve your goals.Good luck!

My main concern is the interest rates being so high now as to whether what I'm hoping to achieve is really even possible. 

I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether this approach makes sense or if there are other strategies you’d recommend to optimize profitability. 

Best advice is to have a lender and an agent working together to help you achieve your goals. 

Be sure to celebrate the goals that you achieved!!

One of my early properties barely broke even, but after a couple of years, rent hikes and expense optimization turned it into a strong performer.For cash flow benchmarks, I usually aim for $200-$300 per unit, but your situation.. house hacking.. offers unique benefits like reduced living expenses and quicker equity buildup.

This deal aligns with my strategy of adding value and achieving robust returns.

@James SillsFrom my experience working with investors, transitioning from residential to commercial real estate (CRE) is an exciting and achievable goal with the right foundation.

What checks and balances would you need to put in place to avoid this.I am a firm believer that you should tie any bonus to a metric that the company is trying to achieve.

You can generally achieve better bank leverage and has a lower barrier of entry.
