Hi Bobby, I'm the ops manager for the Property Management Division at Milestone Premier Properties and a licensed realtor and investor.I actually live in Denton too butour brokerage is based in downtown Denison where I commute 2x a week.

Hey Bryant, that’s so funny I have lived in College Station for the past two years but just recently moved back home after graduation.

I sometimes wonder if people just feel lazy dumping their money into an index fund in the stock market and actually using all that free time to go out and live life.

If you live in Texas this is a great resource to see how much MF inventory is growing in your market https://trerc.tamu.edu/data/building-permits/

Use tools like the VA loan for house hacking and your Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) to cover living costs while building equity.

If all you are doing is watching YouTube videos, you don't know as much as you think.

Once you take over a property as an owner occupant, if it is a single family or condo you can live in it for 1 year and that automatically exempts your unit from rent control.

I also require proof of savings of at least 2 months living expenses. 

After 45 + years as a real estate investor, broker, lender, fund manager and syndicator, I’ve become aware that the “dream” of many investors and investor “hopefuls” is to be able to generate enough cash flow to live off their real estate holdings and accumulate enough wealth to make “work” optional.

I don't know your living situation but if your paying x,xxx for rent or a mortgage and instead by living in one side and renting out the other you will be paying y,yyy instead and y is less then x that's great, especially if you can rent out your primary residence and make income there too.
