You don't like black rock, either, remember?

This 5 year plan allows me to test multiple different strategies of REI, learning lots along the way, and help me figure out what my "niche" is.Just thinking out loud here haha but I appreciate your comments to inspire me to further think through my real estate journey!

@Keonhee ChoFocus on emerging submarkets like areas outside Austin, like Round Rock, Hutto, or even Killeen.

If you are buying large multi-family, I would follow larger developments so your investment has a rock to support itself.

I spent well over 1 mil on a CRM, owned a rock solid direct mail provider and drove a Rolls Royce.  

Denton's seen 5.2% growth, Kyle's a bit slower, and Buda's part of the growing Austin-Round Rock area.

there is  a reason this paper trades as such a low value.at least when you invest say with a HML right there in Denver your assets your loaning against are rock solid.. not some defunct little house in some little OHIO town that died 30 years ago and is never coming back.. 

Like when your wife asks which movie you want to go to tomorrow night and you remind her that you could go out to dinner or rock climbing or for drinks or to a play or to a game.

Tell us some more about the house hack is it a true multi family or are you just rocking with roomates? 

Maybe you won't find anyone in his community saying they are not getting their value there (at least not out loud) but that's probably because saying anything at all critical there will apparently get you kicked out immediately (guess the community is only "forever" if you keep any constructive criticism to yourself).
