Not sure if you’re closer to Randolph, Lackland or Ft Sam Houston but this also plays into account on what rental amount you should look to achieve.

As a general rule, I aim to achieve a net return of $800–$1,000+ per month for every $100,000 invested.

That's a whole other layer of risk. 

I will be at the two year mark in about 5 months.Hopefully, improved supply chains, permitting in the city, and being further out from Hurricane Ian helps new construction in the area, as a whole.

Started with a structural engineer, hired them for drawings, the whole bit.

(No whole house rentals.)

Weather it's helping with a fix and flip or mowing multiple rental properties' lawns, I've been around my parents real estate journey my whole childhood.

The fact that you’re so close to achieving your goal is inspiring. 

However, most of my tenants are locals who have lived here their whole lives.

If we tried to plant the whole tree there would not be enough roots to support the leaves.
