I suggest getting a job anywhere and saving your money to then invest.

I suggest 6 months of expenses to keep in cash.

I would suggest looking in Columbus Ohio for so many reasons - population growth, job growth, and companies moving here.

It helps create an aspirational experience and can make the home stand out in a competitive market.

@Jim G.Per the International Residential Code if the glazing is less then 60 inches vertically from a standing or walking surface then yes it’s required to be safety glass as it’s considered a hazardous area.  

I would prefer to sell the property vacant or the easiest less stressful way as possible, however I was advised that could deter investors buyers interest as the rental income is a one of my strong selling points.I am open and would appreciate any thoughts and/or suggestions from fellow agents or investors alike.Thanks in advance;)

Of the list of options, which stand out as better opportunities and why?

Personal usage will negate the losses from the cost seg in the first year, so we suggest avoiding it.

Additionally, I would suggest you run some financial calculations such as cash on cash return as well as any appreciation from the asset if/when you sell.

Honestly if you are doing STR I would suggest doing Austin itself rather than all the way out there in Kyle - maybe a couple of years ago when the prices were through the roof in Austin city itself this would be a good alternative but there is a blip right now where you can get a god entry point in Austin (downtown/east ideally) for STR
