Our home state, TX, has really high property tax which is see as a big disadvantage.

Here’s some context: Property 1: >$100k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $220k @ 2.88% (30-year fixed)Property 2: >$70k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $252k @ 3.38% (30-year fixed)Extra considerations: - I have $15-20k liquid to use for any of these deals- My current job is relatively stable, but not high-payin- Current properties in TX, living in NY, looking to invest in Mid-West (crazy, I know)- No other debt obligations besides the two mortgagesUltimate goal/timeline: Though a bit ambitious, I’d love to build up the portfolio to 10-20 units in the next two yearsI understand that any/all replies aren't financial advice; all ideas welcome for information purposes.

Currently have a duplex I’ve been in 3 yearsMortgage 3.65% pmt $850Tenant pays $875Heloc $30k——monthly $291The issue I am running into isRates are so high right now and it’s a lot harder to find another that will cover full mortgage.Does it make sense to leave somewhere that it is full covered to go to one that is not?

Couple other things to consider, property / school taxes are high, and tenants have lots of rights.

The ADUs that the most experienced are adding leverage bonus density program or other such rules to add multiple units and for the most part they exit.
