No, out of state.

Personally, I have no issues making the full monthly payments from the start, so it seems unnecessary to pay the buydown payment just to have lower payments in the first two years.Additionally, my lender said that if I refinance before the 2-year period is over, the remaining buydown payment would be applied to the principal.

You can make offers on 2-3-4 whatever number of houses, but don’t put down deposits on homes you don’t plan to buy. 

Let tenants know they need to clean up after themselves (ie no dirty dishes sitting in the sink).

Considering saving up for a 20% down payment but wondering if there are faster or better ways.Guidance Needed: Financing options based on my situation.Strategy:Current Strategy: Buy and hold.Open to New Strategies: Yes, interested in fix-and-flip and short-term rentals, but I have no experience in these areas.Market:Market Selection: I want to invest locally in Houston.

If you need a brokerage account at Fidelity, you open Fidelity's Investment-Only Non-Prototype Retirement account for the 401k; there is no need for the LLC.

I originally purchased this house to be nearby my grandmother in her last few years but realized quickly that it was a prime area for short term rentals as there are no zoning rules or permits necessary etc.

So I cancelled it.Then in the month of August, he failed to pay on time so I have now filed a dispossessory proceeding and it is now the 15th and still no payment.

The rate on my mortgage is amazing (low 3'%) and have no plans to lose that.

@Heather WatkinsYou'll probably hear a lot of opinions from different people as there's really no right or wrong way to structure your holdings.
