@Cyndi Hong your lender will advise you on what’s best also, let them know your plan to transfer it because you don’t want to move it to an LLC and trigger your alienation or due on sale clause if you have one.

Hi Anthony,Financing 100% of the deal is extremely difficult.

@Benjamin Sulka If i'm understanding you correctly, you are not liking the numbers of a duplex after you move out and have to rent both sides.I obviously don't know your numbers or what you are accounting for but if the building is generally newer and in better condition it is ok to dial back the capex and repairs budget in my mind.Additionally we pulled the trigger on our house hack really without considering what would happen when we left. 

Some friend has been telling me foundation issue is common in Houston area because it is building on active soil, and the extreme weather might cause foundation issues here and there.

Both my wife and I feel extremely uncomfortable with him here. 

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

Obviously your in this position able to pull cash out because you made a good decision back when you pulled the trigger to buy that one.

We definitely need an agent so that would be extremely helpful.

Both are going to be extremely beneficial, but with less experience in the Multifamily space there might be more topics that you would find interesting to help prepare you when starting to invest in a larger multifamily. 

The best way to find a mentor is to: 1) Find a really bad deal2) Post on BP about how you are about to pull the trigger on that deal3) Wait for the replies and outreach
