We have homes that are 100 years old (give or take) and the hardwoods are still beautiful. 

That's the beauty of the BRRRR method - now you can take those funds and go onto your next property!

This is also a slight uptick from the September 2021 median home price of $450,000 in the Austin-Round Rock market.Here’s how submarkets in the Austin area performed in October:City of Austin: The median home price climbed 21.1 percent year over year to $536,000­­, while home sales decreased 11.7 percent.Travis County: The median home price increased 21.8 percent year over year to $522,625, while home sales fell 16.9 percent.

Given your goals, you might want to  entertain the option of selling (flipping to an end buyer, rather than flipping to yourself. ) You could then use those funds to buy an already performing rental somewhere, since you are open to multiple markets. 

Beautiful home and I really love the strategy of out with the old, in with the new!

Equity is a beautiful thing.

To break the cycle of debt, so my children will not be saddle with it- but will only get into it if they willfully chose to.It is a beautiful life- With that being said- if I can check out in 5 years and put $1.5-2 million my sale profits into an index, I am OUT.

There’s a property I have in mind in Jefferson County and before approaching the owner and making an offer I need to figure out how to find reliable contractors to perform the work in a timely manner.

@Kevin Kim if the house is vacant and the vendor you chose knows the scope of work you want performed, there should be no problem sharing the code with them.
