Moved to Austin 13 years ago and am finally on board to start my real estate journey.

You have to be ready to move fast.  

You should look into DSCR Loans - many investors like yourself typically move to this loan product once they max out with DTI/qualifying conventionally - a bit higher in rate than conventional mortgages - but no DTI ratio or tax returns/income verification makes a much easier qualification process and LLCs are 100% ok (even as sole owner) and actually often preferred.PS - published a 10-part article series here on BP last year on everything you'd want to know on these loan types - sharing links below, hope it can help!

What's the process you use for your VA to track vacancy in Stessa?

It can be move-in ready and could use some TLC to increase the value of the home.

I would do research about the process of getting licensed in your state and what costs are entailed, then see how you feel!

It was a simple selection and scheduling process.

to make it more difficult, I got my family of 6 move in with relatives in Virginia.feel free to question my intelligence 

I recently moved to Montclair near the Watchung Plaza and know that area very well.

Our company, Pleasant Valley Containers, has 4 home models that are move-in ready for under $80k.
