IMO killeen is a solid investment. just have to watch which areas you are getting into. there are some pretty rough areas near fort hood but killeen is great because it is close enough to austin and people commute from there to austin as well. with fort cavazos near by and the new samsung plant coming online in taylor, it is a solid choice with steady demand for MF.

You should speak to your cpa but if multiple people are paying it then I believe it can be separated as long as it does not exceed the amounts paid and it must be legit

Hey Mike - welcome to BP - I'm sure you'll connect with people and learn a lot here.

If that is the case then you may just need to be realistic about what it is worth - cash buyers are usually investors and there has to be enough upside for them to make money.Have you talked to your realtor about the feedback received from people that have seen the house?

So when you close with people, you'll have a chance to scale. 

This is causing a huge influx of people moving here for jobs.

If what you say above is true then 1M people of fb need a license. by the way, I thought you were an attorney.

I moved from the SF Bay Area to live and invest in Reno, NV because of it being much more landlord friendly, low property taxes, close to Northern CA and Lake Tahoe, strong appreciation, and I understood the market after speaking to a bunch of people and feeling confident about the future here.  

Many people put the cart before the horse thinking that needs to be done.

Don't just look at the area overall and listen to people say its oversaturated and things are down.
