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

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.

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. 

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

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. 

I will likely do one in the future so the knowledge is still there when I need it.

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.

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

I would go on furnishedfinder.com which will allow you to look at MTR's in your area, see what they rent for, and see how many are "available now" vs at some point in the future.

I've consistently written about the forces of nature and her current and future effects on the real estate market (even while often being ridiculed and politicized on this very site for it) regardless: I personally moved and invested in coastal Oregon in 2018 from Venice Beach Los Angeles partly as a result of the trajectory of climate and have assisted several clients that specifically purchased on the Oregon Coast for their own 'climate havens,' investment and future retirement homes.
