Low out of pocket cost. 

Jade,  what's the median price for a duplex,  triplex or four-plex thereI may have to start looking for a property there,  (After tax season,  I don't have the time right now)

There's many ways to get into a deal with low to no money down!

If I remember correctly, there is a provision for properties with Fannie and Freddie loans to be moved to single-member LLCs after 12 months of seasoning if the only member of the LLC is the owner/borrower on the loan. 

From a financial standpoint, the key is to ensure you're purchasing properties at a price low enough to make rehab costs and refinance achievable.

If prices in Georgetown come down low enough, 100% I'm scheduling a trip and were getting on-the-buy.

I still consider land one of the best low-risk investments when purchased correctly.

Then I would do a low risk flip ( rehab less than a few weeks) for hopefully a 10-15% profit, repeat until I have a nice down payment and am sure that I would be able to qualify for a refinance, then buy a buy and hold then continue flipping until I get to the next buy and hold - in theory, the time between each property should decrease as I should be getting capital from the buy + hold as well as I would already have my reserves built up.

Install landscaping that super low maintenance and reduces water usage and looks nice.

You can go as low as 10% down and there are programs that allows this for first timers with good credit.3.
