The price of the properties I intend to house hack in my college town located in Abilene Texas near Fort Worth ranges from 150k to 200k.

This process allows you to get a new mortgage for the purchase and roll any cashout from any equity (whatever is leftover after the existing mortgage is paid off on the old house) as the downpayment -  all without having to actually sell the old home first.

Good afternoon, It has been hard to find people who are trustworthy in this industry that are in the RV Park Development and/or Investor side of things.

They started off in the one-off single family home modular designs but in the recent years have acquired facilities across the US to really ramp up supply to meet the demand of the market especially here in LA for developers looking to big large affordable multifamily housing.

when looking to go local I would consider a house hack.

With mortgage rates being so high, we'd like to do an all-cash purchase in a house with a good balance between cash flow and appreciation.

Switching online services is unfortunately not an option because the large majority of house seekers use zillow.

That means you need to bring another 40k to the table at the refi cause you'll have a bridge loan of 240k to payoff.Now you'll own a 320k house with 80k equity in it making 150 cash/month.You wanna look for better deal spreads. 

I have one rental property - a house that I used to live in for 5 years.

If the property is homesteaded, you are grandfathered only at max 3%.You can see bellow an example as the taxes increased after the change om ownership. the big difference is due to fact the area appreciated 1000% since the 90s when the house was initially purchased as a homestead.
