During this updating process, I have remembered how much I love the coordinating of deals and overall general feel of RE ... so I am scheduling my classes to earn my license here in Texas to resume my former practice,  continue as a rehabber, and prepare for a future as a multi-family property owner. 

I have however, started looking at Southern, NH such as Nashua and Salem, and the houses seem to more consistently meet the 1.5% or even 2% rules.

It's about the right processes, in the right order, to create momentum that leads to consistent closings.This type of hands-on environment is not for everyone..but it is for folks who want to dramatically shorten the curve and avoid lots of trial by fire!. 

I ONLY REPRESENT MY OWN PORTFOLIO, AND DO NOT PRACTICE DUAL AGENCY FOR MY PROPERTIES.

Hey @Kevin Fox, my holding cost consist of:Interest paid during rehab, utilities, and I see I need to get information on insurance and taxes.I only used the two homes that were outdated because my agent sent me those 2 as comps.

@Christina BabayanThis is a question for an attorney who practices family law in the jurisdiction in which you reside (Texas).Here, record keeping would be the crux of your case.  

With that being said, I'd prefer to build a business that can generate a consistent revenue well into the future.

Single family I think will do well in Livingston as well as I see homes there consistently renting for more than $1/Sq.

Great strategy here for someone just embarking on their journey.I have seen Tim Puffer 's house and it is awesome and will cash flow hugely once he rents out both halves and until then, he will live practically rent free allowing him to save or put his money to other uses.

The layout is a residential single-family home that has been subdivided into three units consisting of 2 x two bedrooms and 1 x a one bedroom that is located in the "basement" of the house.
