I am now working as an engineer in the Twin Cities, but have plans of moving to Austin, TX with my wife to house-hack and work in the more plentiful tech market over there. 

The plan would be to move out after a year and rent my side out for $2,500 (market rent price).

@Steven NguyenThe BRRR method is a solid strategy, but careful planning is key.

Some had clearly heard about buying a laundromat on YouTube and just wanted someone to listen to their brilliant plan to buy five laundromats in the next year.

Talk to a CPA to see how it fits your plan. 

I plan to live there with my wife.

Excited to hear about your plans for 2025—let me know if you ever want to chat about the market or need any help finding deals!

I will preface this with the fact that I have a legal background, specifically with estate planning and asset protection.

If you plan to scale, I would get one right away on your first property.

Bigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.
