I'll try getting a more detailed plan today or tomorrow, though.Michael, I can answer that question easily.

They have both mobile deposit and the ability to use US Bank ATM's at no charge.Comerica bank is also able to establish Solo 401k accounts easily, but their closest banks will be in the Bay Area.

If the requirements in your state are very basic and you meet them easily, no reason not to get licensed...I'm getting my Maryland license because it's so easy...I figure it can't hurt...

Because they were new units, you could maybe break even after all expenses and the mortgage, and then own them in 20-30 years outright or cash out if/when the value increases, which could easily happen as Austin swallows up surrounding areas.

They were both easily rented and they have both appreciated.

They can present financing issues when credits are allowed improperly as to what lenders allow.They are easily understood but often spin off types cause them not to be a true option or they may present unwanted consequences such as having to foreclose.A better alternative usually is buying Sub-to, wrapping a mortgage or using a note and deed of trust/mortgage.

It could easily rent for $500, maybe more.

This allow me to easily rent them out and then later manage them long distance because they do not need as much hand holding.When is your next pcs?

With that I'd suggest you put down only that required to buy and hold reserves as well as being in a position to take advantages of other opportunities.The issue with your property is having two dwellings on the same lot, I'd research that and see if it had been two lots before or if it can easily be divided.

This would help them leave the house in great condition, put the word out with high quality friends, and working easily with showing times.
