Hence if I were in your scenario, I would be targeting properties in the Texas market, preferably at least an hour or so away.

Personal referral would be preferred:-)

It’s completely normal to feel a bit of analysis paralysis, especially when you’re in a position to make a move.The choice between a short-term rental (like Airbnb), long-term rentals, or a duplex comes down to your personal preferences and lifestyle.

Finding DSCR lenders willing to take a second position can be challenging, as many prefer the security of being in the first lien position.

I do not think this is a one size fits all answer and there are times where private lending is preferred over traditional financing.

Hi Dave,I understand why you’d want to handle your own taxes, whether it’s a personal preference or just comfort with your finances.

Midlothian, Decatur, Weatherford, Sherman depending on your price range and age preferences. 

So depending on which of those you see as a benefit, you'll likely prefer one or the other. 

Any preference for one over another?

So, I'd prefer for them to stick with me as I do want to invest in another rental every 2 months or so with the same structure listed above.
