Those incentives can be great opportunities  builder pain is  very regional and product type dictates..

No pain, no gain?

Best regards,DragoThanks for taking the time.Regarding the Cozy reference, I am using Apartments(dot)com as an introductory free platform that seems to check most of the boxes and then determining where my pain-points are, if any, to help me pick from the plethora of more inclusive available options at a later time (such as TurboTenant, TenantPro, LandlordStudio, etc). 

Was it painful when water heaters had to be replaced or tenants skipped in the middle of the night? 

Couple things I wish someone told me when I rented out my primary in Katy:- your taxes will go up dramatically over time - cash flow is inconsistent- while Katy is a fantastic rental market it's still competitiveTo answer your questions: - yes, the homestead exemption will increase your taxes at a faster rate but you can protest them either yourself (I don't recommend as I've tried and it was a pain) or with a professional service- To start, you're either going to pay for books, classes, etc. or pay the school of hard knocks.

The way that I set up my coaching program helped around 80 to 90% of my coaching students buy real estate and increase their net worth by between $30,000 and $500,000 during the year that I coached them.I tried to make the coaching program really affordable and based on psychological principles of motivation.

There are 'daily dials' that are hosted by some of the group leaders and you practice cold calling under different scenarios (seller who has no pain, seller wants too much down, seller says they're too old to do owner finance/refi, etc).There are daily Zooms on a variety of topics as wells just Q & A where Pace will answer any questions you have on anything you might be working on, etc.

I could be wrong there, but regardless I know developer pain when hands are tied.

It's a really pain to say the least! 

This is painfully true.
