I think we will see more "adult" families living together...kids move back in or parents move in with kids.The traditional apartment model was based on 12month leases, but jobs are not always 12 months and people want flexible terms, so co-living often offers that.Seems like younger people between 20-30 and some other age groups don't want to get married and start that housing pathway our parents and grandparents took.   

Maybe start with some smaller jobs before going all in.

Nice folks and a lot of knowledge to go around. 

I will take that over 200.00 a month positive cash flow :)  All the while running my Capital Partner business and funding over 120 deals a year for my hand picked clients. lThat's a nice combination.

Looks nice @Ryan S., but a bit sterile.

Second, if you want a nice house in a nice part of town, you will have to pay for it, so will likely need to raise your purchase price.Third, if you want to go off-market, just know you are trading a lot of time for the possibility of maybe finding a deal.  

While the interior is nice, the first-floor kitchen and bath are original from the 1940s.

A lot of investors provide comps (residential RE) but I avoid doing it because it's like telling them how to do there job.

Another factor is we both work full time jobs so it’s difficult for us to scale as quickly as we would like to but if we can take these early profits that would change things. 

In Houston, you can either invest locally or explore strong Texas markets like San Antonio (affordable duplexes, strong job market), DFW suburbs (duplex-friendly zoning, growing economy), or Houston suburbs (Spring, Cypress, The Woodlands for good schools and tenant demand).
