As to the buddy I mentioned in Washington state it was the same scenario; he converted tax-free up to their standard deduction but above that he kept within the lowest tax bracket and paid the smallest amount of tax possible.Thank you @Basit Siddiqi for calling me out on this and giving me a chance to address my mistake; it's important people have the correct information.  

It sounds like an incredible resource, for $200 having a fully designed materials and fixtures schedule to pair with a labor only GC or a GC that can work well with a prescriptive materials schedule. https://ivoryhome.co/predesigned-packages/Just curious how other people’s experience has been.

I may have an unpopular opinion for Austin Market but i think hype is going down and things are settling down still not to pre pandemic levels, probably wont happen due to influx of people that moved in.My understanding is more people will move out than move in to Austin next few years but that is with in circles i know not necessarily representation of austin market.

That might be the biggest hurdle - but otherwise, I'd check out "DSCR Loans" which are the perfect option for people like you looking to buy rental properties w/o W2 or DTIWe don't own any other properties other than the investment property we just purchased.

Maybe you  can try a joint partnership with an experienced Investor/flipper and get your feet wet , you would be bringing capital to the table so I am sure many people would like to do that with you:)
