My husband and I, who live in CA,  are deciding on buying an investment property but we are also taking into consideration my mother, who we currently help with rent down in Lake Nona.

This would be my first subject-to deal so I was curious if there was anyone who could provide some tips or support me in the details (paperwork, insurance considerations, using a land trust or not, structuring the terms advantageously, things to look out for)?

Know that there is still robust demand for Austin housing and that prices are still considerably higher than just a few years ago.

Yes, you will pay for commissions (which are 100% negotiable)- I like the idea of approaching the agent for the new buy (if in the same area), who might give you a discount on the listing if you also buy from him or her.There are programs out there that help you BUY before selling, they will give you a 20% downpayment and money for repairs on your existing house- you'd have to use an Agent and them that is affiliated with them and they act as the straw man lender- check out Knock.com, Ribbon, Orchard, Homelight, etc- and there are others- I'm not sure which are available to you in California.In most states, homes are sold "As-IS" anyway), and all you have to do if you cannot make repairs is to properly DISCLOSE what you know isn't working, so that buyers can take that into consideration in ADVANCE of contract, in both their offer but also to save them surprises later on which could cause them to back out- if they know in advance and all is disclosed, there's less chance of that happening.

Official paperwork should be prepared with a real estate lawyer, and financial examination should take into consideration interest revenue, tax consequences, and market circumstances.

Greed and thinking this score will help you to reach new heights can become your downfall.

I see a bunch of small 1 or 2 parcel PDs scattered around Seminole heights.
