For bookkeeping, the best solution sometimes depends on your scale.

The issue I'm running into with this is the area I'm planning on moving to isn't exactly the most affordable, and so even with 0% down, you still have to make the mortgage payments, and you're only qualified for up to an amount supportable by your in-place income, which of course makes sense.

Keeping this as a rental would not cover the mortgage (we'd have to pay ~1500 a month including utilities) and we can afford the extra payment, but is it worth it when looking at appreciation?

It was the perfect solution for this home considering it's location only a few miles from the University of Houston, Texas Southern Univ., VA hospital, Texas Medical Center, Downtown Houston, Toyota Center, Reliant Stadium as well as Hwy 45, 59, 288 and 610.

There are a lot of misconceptions about the protections afforded by the LLC, so speak with an attorney.

Just because you can afford it doesn't mean you should.
