for movement or settling, 4) Maybe most important because it's so hard to correct...the grading at and around the house.

I'm currently in a rent to own house we are moving out of and will be renovating and renting.

I am trying to hire a licensed REA for my LLC to perform occasional open houses and move-in/move-out inspections since I am out-of state from my rental property.I have the REA identified, now I just need to know the steps to creating a contract for them and me to sign.

Good on your friend for suggesting house hacking a duplex.

Quote from @Edward James smith: Hello, I currently own a single family house with an ADU, and a duplex.

We also have a house in Germany, but I do not think we can put that house in a trust.  

Only other wild card is if they destroy the house on the way out.

I'm asking because last year I bought an inventory home in Cypress TX that had a $10k discount, however the appraised value of the house came out to be the same as the discounted price :)  

The main house will be house hacked for the first year and will turn into a co-living.   

You love the house and there is a likely opportunity that you may be moving back to the Austin area.
