So there could be benefits from starting a new lease for that reason.

Realistically, there should be no benefit, and there are probably some disadvantages, of doing what you propose.

I’ve never managed roommates or lived with roommates but I know it will benefit me so if  the triplex doesn’t work out I wouldn’t mind having roommates.

I wouldn't suggest you buy a single-family home to live in because the additional cost outweighs the benefits.

They are usurping your property for the benefit of the public.

As I wrote in another reply too - one more benefit for me is that in a way it's "forced savings" - I have to find a way to pay the bill...

Getting the federal return correct is the most important and with owning two properties, there could be some positive tax benefits.

I can always sell if I change my mind, and hopefully make a few bucks, worst case break even, since I am buying at discounts.With BRRRRR, an often ignored benefit is the security (if done well) of being all in 75-85% of ARV.

The growth in San Antonio is moving north and the builder incentives will benefit a new investor like yourself.
