I am interested in meeting mortgage brokers, investors, and real-estate agents in the Austin area, as well as anyone who can connect my abilities as an engineer to a tech company in the area.I love learning new things, and not knowing how to do a thing has never stopped me from doing it.

Some outreach to local companies with a transient workforce may be worth your time - you'd have 1 lease rather than 5 (1 per bedroom). 

Mine are long term rentals (in 2 states), 3 SFH and 1 mult-unit and they recommended a Wyoming Trust over a Holding Company over an LLC for each property.

Keep in mind banks still pool forclosed assets together and sell them all together as a group to one company.  

I would definitely look into seeing if there are any AirBNB arbitrage companies operating in the area that may be willing to take it on. 

I would try to subscribe to Angies List to determine a suitable mortgage company.

NATHAN KUPPERMANthanks :)Fiona and Obie They appear to be a newer company - around one year.

Hey All - As my fix & flip company has grown in the last two years, we are beginning to bring our own construction in house.

I run Blaze Real Estate a property management company in Amarillo.

Who are a few great companies I could speak with that have turn-key properties available?
