My goal is to buy and hold 10-15 properties to meet my regular/fat FI goals.

@Joe Kim  You understand by taking on as much leverage and debt as you can in a hot market you make the most money, but hopefully you also understand that you loses the most money when you are fully leveraged and the market contracts right?  

You can, in theory, have units pre-inspected for Section 8 before a tenant is lined up, though it is rare that a PHA offers this to landlords as an option as they're usually a bit backed up.

So if you buy a domain and then decided to change you can in the first 5 days.

Maybe you can in West Texas or remote parts elsewhere in the state but a suburb of Austin is more like Portland than one of those areas. 

Just asking as a novice person reading this trading naked would be a risky bet.Since the volatility is so high, spreads are pretty fat right now,but don't know when it will drop to grab the premium ;)----For the other answers,  we are in an unchartered market.

In general, you have to realize the public perception of landlords are fat-cat wealthy capitalists. 

Real Estate is also one of the few businesses where you can (in large part) control your income by expanding your portfolio - at a pace that you deem acceptable. 

I am an insurance agent with a huge passion for all things canine.  

While everyone is looking out for the DOS in corners, the big fat elephant in the middle of the room is insurance.In the name of asset protection your title and hazard insurance is laying in the shade.
