i’m referring to multiple bedrooms for student housing in the scenario.

Yeah, I think you're on the right mindset about the double interest (heloc downpayment & loan payment). 

Do another walk through with your agent after the inspection and double checking it all. 

Midterm and long term rentals in that area are doing well, we are midterming a 1 bedroom for $3000 and renting 2 bedrooms long term for $2700-3000. 

In Florida they tenant loses their deposit and has to pay double rents.

I plan to rent out my extra bedroom for extra money.

I have seen my rates double in the past 5 years.

One in our guest bedroom and one my son is using at college.They have been pretty great!

In most states you cannot "double dip".

My gut tells me that Texas, particularly Austin and Houston, could be where the next wave of growth and expansion occurs, mainly driven by strong business and job creation trends.Here’s what I’m looking for in my US investments:Free-standing houses with a good land component, at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and in well-maintained condition.Yielding over 6%, with a slight cash flow positive outcome, while also offering medium-term capital appreciation potential.Holding for at least 5 years or more, with a view towards steady growth.The long-term goal is financial independence, reducing reliance on salary-based income, and building assets during this accumulation phase.Debt reduction is on the horizon—looking to consolidate and start winding down debt within the next 7 years.If anyone has experience investing in the Texas real estate market or any tips on navigating US property investments, feel free to share your thoughts!
