Late 2017/ early 2018, I used my free time to focus on crypto.

Wondering where out-of-state, or even just out of Central Texas, people have chosen to pick up some properties, and what those are.Cheers,David

I've chosen condos in properly managed buildings so that the only thing I need to pay for is what can go wrong in a simple unit.

If you are concerned with paying off the debt then you should reconsider your chosen strategy.The refinance loan interest is of no concern to me. 

Repayment, as of right now is $300/month for 10 years but I will most likely pay it off quicker.My rent is roughly $700/month including utilities, wifi, etc.I currently have about 15k in liquid assets/cash equivalents and then about 8k in less liquid assets (Mutual funds/Crypto).

I’m very happy that you have chosen to invest the money intelligently, so make sure you take the time when making the right purchase. 

We've chosen to stay away from the Beloit area, but have been interested in how others are successfully renting and in what areas of the town.

It appears you have found success by achieving a great career to provide for your family but whatever decisions and ways you've chosen to look at life have led you to your current situation.

That can be chosen once you have a property under contract. 

As a real estate investor how can I increase my chances of having my contract chosen over others?
