We keep the main house separate by locking the door between the bedroom and our living area, so guests only have access to their room.

@Mario MoralesInsurance prices - yes they will continue to rise across the nation.

You can door-knock, build a referral base (but you probably need the business first), send out mailers, do Google/Facebook ads, or use people like Nick and Lead Minning Pros. 

I assume that  if you knock on the door they are not going to be receptive to your request to vacate.

Start small - get yourself a househack, learn from your own experience of owning the rental property you live in, continue to educate yourself with reliable resources, and then worry about the next home.Having just one solid investment will put you ahead of most Americans than trying to find a way to buy 10 doors out of state in an area you don't even understand. 

Personally, I generate steady cash flow through rental income from workforce housing and multifamily properties, but the value really comes from the appreciation that takes time but is happening, especially in markets like Dallas, where property values are rising steadily due to a major supply demand imbalance.

We’ve had 6 showings in the past week alone, which is already a lot, but the most concerning part is what’s been happening during these showings.Here’s the real kicker: there have been showings (with prior notice given) when we weren’t home, and my cameras caught prospective buyers entering unaccompanied—no realtor, no landlord, just strangers walking into my occupied home.In one instance, my husband happened to be home and answered the door.

With suburban spots around Houston and Dallas gaining traction for affordability and space, how do you think the trend will evolve if interest rates continue to rise?

Hi @Jackson Hanssen Ty for answering.I don't want to merge the two LLCs because I'd like to preserve family only ownership in my family LLC (LLC-A) for the same number of doors.

This emphasis on scaling as quickly as possibly means you’re going to become a door chaser and you will look for markets that cater to that objective which normally means weak underlying fundamentals.
