I did run the numbers and it seems I'd be accruing more debt with higher mortgage than currently.

My agent is currently finding best rates with Travelers.   

I’m currently active on BiggerPockets to connect with like-minded investors, exchange ideas, explore potential opportunities, and provide opportunities through my network to collaborate with others.

Hi @Adam M VonfeldtCongratulations on your current rental property—that’s an incredible achievement!

I am a wholesaler looking to also break into house hacking, brrrr strategy, and eventually fix and flips.I am in west TX areaWhere in Tx are you currently and what strategies do you employ? 

I currently work as a Pipefitter (think plumbing but on industrial steroids).

I am working with some NJ clients on turnkey investments in the Midwest/midsouth markets currently.

I currently invest in OH but am interested in looking into Buffalo too.

I'd highly recommend house hacking in your local market since you're in one of the highest cost of living areas in the US, especially if you're renting currently and planning on staying in the area for 5-10 years.It sounds sexy to go out and invest out of state for your first property.

The baseball season lasts 6-7 months, and I am given free housing during this time, wherever I am currently assigned to play.
