We are leaning more towards Houston than Dallas, but still interested in learning any insights around the difference and opinions in those two cities in TX.  

That $15K would have to be enough for either a 3.5% down payment using FHA for example and lean heavy on the seller for a Seller concession (Seller credit) which goes towards closing costs.

I am leaning more towards a slow ramp off my current career, and a ramp into building with a build and hold strategy.

I’m leaning more towards an apartment locator, mainly because of the current housing market in Austin, there are not many properties available.

Or just lean into it.

I would lean towards rental because as they say it’s not what you make, it’s what you keep.

I've always wanted to get into real estate investing and always leaned towards short term rentals/ vacation rentals.

I'm leaning towards Greece right now, because of the low 250,000 spend on real estate to get a golden visa.
