Note: Decent location with about 3-4% yearly appreciation.Breakdown:1.

My business is in LA county and, obviously, $250k will buy me nothing to personally live in unless I want to commute about 2 hours to where my business is located.

While some are saying it's impossible to come out with free rent around Austin, I want to see if there might be someone on this site who can help find something that will be incredibly cheap for me (please don't just say it's impossible, thank you).Ideally I'd like to be located within ten miles of 78726 where I work my day job.

I plan to obtain my RE license after moving back to the states to assist in my entrepreneurial endeavors.I think my biggest challenge currently is one of location, everything is just a bit harder from abroad.

This is what we did but we only moved the stove over a foot from it's original location.

You seem to really understand the position I am in with trying to find the right locations within SA. 

I do have additional cash on hand to invest but I would like to use the equity build up in these two properties in addition to put myself in an even better position to purchase either a couple more SFR or a Multi family.Both homes are located in Nampa, Idaho and are financed through a large bank, not a local community bank which I would like to start building a relationship with.I would appreciate any advice.Thanks,Devon

@John Anderson they need to be near downtown Chicago where her businesses are located.

@Sean Edward O'Brien, I've posted multiple times on various aspects, and locations for investing for Dayton.

If you're seeing signs of drywood termites in multiple locations, then spot treatment probably isn't going to work and you'll need the place tented.
