With absolutely no prior experience investing in real estate, I'm getting to the point/age where retirement from corporate America is getting closer and closer, however I still have 2 kids to put through college over the next 2-6 years.

I was going to tag Will like I always do but he already did it so that's covered :) I am in a college town and have rented to a lot of college students.

A ton of house hacking material on there :) 

I am a current college student and gained interest in real estate as I am working on a project focused on finding ways to expand opportunities for real estate investors.

Austin is a fantastic market, with its growing tech presence and vibrant culture, making it a great choice for your future career. 

Little Elm and most cities in DFW are not walkable location so they need a car to move around.Many things to consider, and there are only a few that I know that have done it in a short scale.Happy to connect and rainstorm more.

If I were your age, I would 100% do a house hack of some kind.  

When I attempted to do a similar flip in another county in Texas, where I was unfamiliar with the nuances of the area, my “slam dunk” deal ended up as a $40k loss!. 

It's happened to me a few times.

🎉 A $300/month positive cash flow is a solid start, especially after house hacking.
