Trying to get a split level (not a lot of sqft) on the market in the next three weeks and trying to decide on whether to open the wall between the dining and living room for a feel of openness or leave it as I have heard from two interior designers that the open concept is on the way out as we are more at home and liking our separate areas in the home.Pragmatically speaking the opening of the wall will be mostly a time drain with it being a load bearing wall and having to support the ceiling while rebuilding and all the drywalling necessary.

Have a client that does sober living homes here in B/CS.

Hi Davis,I live in NC but invest primarily in Greenville SC / upstate with my business partners. 

You won't find a deal where you live for free, but if you can live in a great neighborhood at a reduced cost of living that is a nearly risk free way to get started in real estate. 

(I actually didn't get my laptop/phone hooked up to it, because I live here.

I've been in Austin since 1992 and it's an awesome city to live and work.

Quote from @Brandon Croucier: A DSCR Loan requires the property to be in LIVABLE CONDITION.Does it mean YOU would live in it?

I would love to hear any suggestions about where I should look to live in the area. 

There was never a chance to actually win a car or the trip but rather enjoy the David Goggins types telling me that I'm being lazy loser, get your act together, become the best version of yourself!

The first year was challenging meaning had a tenant but not saving, it was just making my living expenses cheaper.
