Dustin,Definitely stay around Austin for your first few deals.

My full time job is being an RN but like most of us here all I talk about is real estate so others know I have properties and I’ve had travel nurses request a place to stay however this is the first Home I’m testing this out in and opening to short term lease.

they've been good tenants, have owned a home before so know what they're doing (probably more than me at this stage) and if this makes them happier/want to stay longer....all the better.  

Should I stay in my home and try to get some roommates to help with mortgage cost until I gain more equity?

Think about it this way: Walmart might have to lay a bunch of people off, but they will probably stay in business.

Now that it's August, I know they are allowed to stay until 10/1 because I gave them notice this month. 

I would assume that would stay true after trying to refinance after we have 20% equity?

They tend to stay a long time. 

Let's stay in touch as guidance comes out

Because the legal protections afforded by the LLC goes out the window if you aren't able to stay organized and separate your personal and business expenses (i.e., pierce the corporate veil).
