We had a pretty nasty cat pea cottage, stripped lots of drywall ended up spraying about 10 gallons Kilz oil throughout.

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

Texas offers a diverse real estate market, from the tech-heavy Austin area to the sprawling suburbs of Dallas and the oil-rich Houston market.

Here's what I’m considering for each:Houston: Diverse job market and high rental demand, but property prices are rising.Midland: Potentially lower property prices, but market stability often ties to the oil industry.Oklahoma City: Affordable market with decent rental demand, but I’m curious about long-term growth potential.Pittsburgh: Growing rental demand, especially in areas like Mt.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy the gym, traveling, and cooking.
