While this is changing with the younger generation, and with all the tech people from California moving to Austin, property rights is still a hot button issue among native Texans and older transplants such as myself.  

Many of our tenants are transplants from other cities with higher paying jobs- they used to have to work in an office and are now 100% virutal.

Not at all the same thing, counselling vs givng some 84 year old a liver transplant that has had three heart bypasses, give me a break.

He also said make sure your first property is a multi family property and if you can’t really afford it FHA will allow you to leverage your tenants rents so you could afford it and live rent free. 

----I don't get these tenants who are happy to live rent-free...One because they probably won't find a place to rent again...Two, if something in the apartment breaks...do they really expect you to come calling to fix it?

I currently live (rent) in PB 1/2 block from the beach 🤗 (might be hard to say goodbye to being so close to the beach 😜)

When I talk to transplants moving into Texas they are amazed at how cheap it is.  

Since the begging saw that I was going to be able to live rent free in this house.

Bay area transplants don't mind it but local buyers and renters don't like it.   

You're obviously not going to cash flow like say you paid $60k in old Brooklyn ,but you've got a great duplex in a great location that will probably appreciate over the long term and you get to live really cheaply.Although could you explain the $1900 where it comes from?
