@Michael Swan What happened that you had to pay taxes on 1 sale?

@Michael Baum the only reason I considered renting them instead of buying them is because of maintenance.

(@Michael Plante, @Eric Greenberg, @Rich O'Neill, @Dan Powers)Makes sense to avoid doing anything extra that a college student wouldn't fully appreciate.

@Michael Plaks is in Houston, but I wouldn't expect to get filed by 5/17.

Hi @Jordan Gitch,Starting out, it's probably best to speak with a variety of potential capital sources to get a good idea of what options are available to you.You can speak with local banks and see what options they have.You can speak with hard money lenders (you can find a list of reputable ones using the BiggerPockets 'Network' tab).You can also speak with local reputable private lenders, and see what they have to offer.Best of luck,Michael

Michael - in an instance like you've mentioned, I'd let them out early, especially with how hot the market is right now, you should have no problem filling the place. 

This is extremely helpful, and will definitely take a look through those links @Michael Plaks, think these are exactly what I'm looking for as well.Thank you all again!

@Michael Metzger I sure hope it is.
