Hopefully, you can better time the market and sell high and buy low when you find a deal. 

Taking on a large first deal with no experience, no resources, no money : high risk for the lender.  

I am a little concerned about the high property taxes in Texas.

The risk is high that they will be recategorized by the IRS upon audit or examination, which means that you've overcontributed to a retirement plan. 

Anything a carpenter can do is comparativley cheap to the above.It can be done if it is a great house in a high value location, but frankly probably more eonomical to tear down and build new.

I would highly recommend doing something like this.

I'd highly recommend local meetups and talking to real estate agents.There are companies that offer help with the execution of rentals and BRRRRs, but this typically comes with a large chunk of upfront fees or cut in equity.

To find places with high rental demand, good economic circumstances, and room to develop, conduct in-depth market research.Examine your alternatives for financing, including conventional mortgages, private lenders, FHA, VA, and partnership loans.

On Bigger pockets we cant self promote ourselves (its against the rules)To help you in your search: be sure to find an accountant who is willing to grow with you, and is not too high priced fee-wise.

FULL disclosure this next rental will not profit me much because of the high-interest rates but I want to keep it long term even If i am breaking even per month.
