Many Texas cities are incentivizing developers to build affordable housing units, but challenges remain around keeping these homes accessible long-term.

I guess they have more land to build there so it might reduce the appreciation there?

You will need to look at CA building code.

Quote from @Kyle Carter: I want to buy an apartment building and rent it out to all section 8 tenants.

I'm just beginning but am considering a bigger commitment in the next five years or so by accessing some or even all retirement funds to buy a building (I'm sure people have thoughts on whether or not that is a good idea!).

It can help build some incredible relationships and really learn some great tips from the pros!

The only rentals I'll consider is if I can do a build to rent.

Hello Mike, It is nearly impossible to answer this question without taking a deep dive on the numbers of each but often times in expensive markets like Seattle the cost of construction is so high that it doesn't make sense to tear it down unless you can build something way bigger/nicer.

This reduces your housing payment and helps you build equity. 

Are you set on starting with a larger property, or would you be open to beginning with something smaller to build experience?
