Personally I’ve got the majority of my assets in real estate.

Personally, I would prefer to use the HELOC approach.

Since you purchased your primary recently and in Houston, I personally am bearish on your appreciation potential.

Maybe try to find someone like that who is just starting out and realizes that real estate is the golden goose over building their own law firm?  

Personally CA scares me. 

Depending on your loan it might only work in the STR game.HOA’s normally do not allow in the Oceanside area but if you get on the beach then they do with restrictions.If you want a personal consult let me know.I have a team here in Oceanside, Carlsbad.

I personally have no connections with anyone who is involved in this niche and I'm wondering how other people have started their journey.

I was like you didn’t notice it wasn’t dirty and you didn’t realize the other room was dirty and ask me a question?

I have found that going that extra mile, like the couch covers etc and making sure the person with the disability has the easiest time visiting our place.As someone with a disability (I have a degenerative neurological disorder) and use a cane, I like to make sure folks with similar issues have a good time.

@Mario Morales - Personally, I would do some research in your target market and search (even it on zillow) for 2-4 family properties and see what agent(s) seem to transact the most in that space.
