Quote from @Jill Young: I'm interested in purchasing a property in Texas (that's in a great location for STRs).

Out of state vs. in state is such a great question.

Cash flow great.  

Section-8 rentals are great because of that dependable income.

IMO it’s hard for me to sell a great cash flowing asset.

So basically in my mind this would not be a great financial move as we be accruing about 200k more in debt if we were to sell one house and take the cash from there and use it as a down payment.

Bigger Pockets is a great place to find a tax accountant specializing in real estate taxation.

I buy and hold and do short term rentals and mid term rentals.Located in Racine Wisconsin  Hello Gabriel: I also live in Racine County there are some great deals our way and including southern milwaukee county too!   

I've made many connections and learned a great deal just listening to people and learning from their experience. 

Great goal to shot for though..
