I'm currently househacking a duplex in East Austin and close next month on one in South Austin assuming everything goes well

I just listed 2 months ago two units, one in east Austin and one in Round Rock and inside of 3 days I had over 50 applicants for each property.  

The pre-foreclosure process started middle of 2020.

Live and die by them.Or you can go in the middle like @Taylor L. said and have a few partners where each of you bring something to the table and you get to do what you love and avoid what you hate.  

, I’m a new investor on the east coast of the state trying to connect with other investors to discuss we’re guys are investing and what method you guys are using. 

I realize this is quite general, but I am more than willing to contextualize my situation and goals, just hoping to get some input on some individuals with some experience in this area, or even the South East in general.

A little history on the house; C.J. purchased this property with some help from her parents and a standard home loan at an incredible deal, especially for a 1,722 SF Condominiums, 3 minutes from Dell Computer's headquarters, in North East Austin, Texas.

Thank you for taking the time to comment.I should mention that it has been about 2.5 years, and the nail came through the middle of one of the pieces, practically shattering it (don’t really know how else to describe it).There are also a few spots where the installation doesn’t seem like it was done properly as the vinyl pieces have moved away from each other, creating open spots.
