@Jordyn Ohs pay off/down your Heloc aggressively and/or look into DSCR loans for future acquisitions.

After some additional research we have decided to focus on the aforementioned markets, but I will keep you in mind if we decide to look at Columbus more closely in the future. 

I'm currently building up capital for future ventures and properties that I find on market, as well as attempting to find the best brokerage where I can work under an individual who is already more established.

That then registers the property at a new “base rate” and your future rent increases all be “base rate” + Inflation as guided by the town.

Once I get to a point that it is making enough per month that I feel comfortable taking money out of the business that would be when I get to the point that it is worth have a specialist assist me in all deductions, credits, and future items that will help me to transfer from a W2 to working for myself fully.

Keep in mind, there are scenarios where you can use creative financing or OPM to get that duplex in the future.

It could be a good choice if you prefer more personal space or want flexibility with different rental terms (like longer stays for remote workers).In general, duplexes are more limited in Austin and can appreciate well, while single-family homes give you future flexibility and a wider tenant pool.

I'm trying to start off with something closer to Houston as my first property, but will keep College station in mind for the future. 

@Sharvil Patel1 is incorrect because of 3.5 is prohibited in many jurisdictions or at a minimum causes insurability issues on future transfers.

The contract can be assigned to the LLC you create in the future.
