Now I know this is most definitely something I need to inquire about when considering different policies.

Thank you.By now you may know more of what's going on, and it does not look good. 

DM me if you would like to have a conversation and I can guide you to people I know in the community that could help.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

We currently use Hospitable for 12 properties, and it's working fine, no major issues, and I know they've been expanding with new features.

Does anyone know of any folks in the Austin, TX area available to show properties to potential tenants?

They won't always be upfront about this with you but if know they're selling because they want to retire, that opens you up to different options vs if they're an investor just selling for profit.

Private money refers to individuals who offer a similar product but lend to friends, family and other investors they know. 

Start by getting pre-approved to know your budget and show sellers you're serious.

(May also cut significantly into the current cash flow on it)I know you mentioned not doing a HELOC on my primary, but wouldn't it be advantageous to have the ability to pay off the line of credit instead of be stuck in a payment that is much higher?
