Is this unique to Texas where I own the properties and the LLC? 

Each home has to be viewed independently as each has unique characteristics.

Basically you aren't borrowing to the nines and stretching yourself thin.

Each of these areas has its unique flavor and offers opportunities to invest in affordable yet attractive properties to potential tenants. 

Unrepresented buyers, how has this increased your unique leverage approaching without an agent?

Hamilton is a stretch, what about the property outside of Austin?

Most investors are trying to stretch capital to buy more properties.

Alternatively, if you're looking for help finding your next investment just let me know - I come across off market deals as well that might fit your criteria (for instance right now I have an off market unique multi-family in Matthews). 

But if youre buying your dream home in a year, then youre likely to run into an issue if your stretching.

The unique advantage of real estate as an asset class is the leverage you can apply using other people's money.
