You can't accept anything over the allowed budgeted price.

Barron I would only consider selling if the gain would allow me to buy a better property with considerably more cash flow.

House hacking is an excellent strategy, and just got a lot easier as conventional loans now allow 2-4 units with only a 5% down payment.

You haven't provided enough information on that to allow specific advice.If you purchased the property in 2020 you should still be at a good interest rate (assuming a 5 year balloon ARM).

If a landlord needs to enter a property for an inspection or repair, a two-day notice is required.Our Governor passed anti-squatting legislation a few months ago which allows owners to have the police remove them as opposed to before where it was considered a legal issue for attorney's to deal with.

Property was sitting on market and needed light updates (roof, flooring, paint) but was in a great area that allows STRs giving me multiple options when deciding on rental strategy How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

However as Texas only allows a HELOC on your Primary Residence, I don’t want to lose this facility if I move to a new place (and I want to comply with the rules!).

But it will have to be rural where the zoning will allow a larger number of animals.

Like if the neighborhood already has too many MFH, then they stop allowing it?

@Makan A Tabrizi Check with your insurance as I’m not allowed to have gas stoves or ovens.
