I made a free Chicago House Hacking Guide if you want to download that (see link on my profile).

As I mentioned my only question would be something hopefully Dave or someone else can answer.

Honestly if you are doing STR I would suggest doing Austin itself rather than all the way out there in Kyle - maybe a couple of years ago when the prices were through the roof in Austin city itself this would be a good alternative but there is a blip right now where you can get a god entry point in Austin (downtown/east ideally) for STR

- the property is based in Garfield Heights - and that my property tax will be much higher.More details: https://brickbear.ai/share/deal/1/583 Define "area not that great"......It's a high C type area.

I bet you learned A LOT.You can also leverage my team to help you out next time.

Hey Jeff,I appreciate you took the time to answer my question. 

I was able to work at my counseling practice and my wife was able to stay home with our kids. 

My tenants will cover the mortgage plus $300.

I am in a hard debate whether I should LLC my properties before I get married.

I have one tenant who is a god send compared to most, he accomplishes nearly ever repair I need, even did an HVAC unit.
