Plus the big guys have more experience negotiating with municipalities for extra incentives to build valuable housing to replace low-income mobiles.I guess it would just come down to your goals, short, medium, and long-term. 

Being able to do rough cost estimation is a valuable skill and one that is worth practicing on your own.

I need guidance from landlord in the DFW area. 

With that being said we aren't really sure whether our excess should be put towards our debt or if we should use that to try to find our first property.Personally, I would love to put it towards our first property because this is something that we've been talking about for 3 years now and I'm at a point that I'm tired of talking about it and ready to make it happen (hence me dropping out of med school haha) but I'm not sure if that's that best decision and I am just seeking some guidance on managing debt while still getting started (and it hopefully not taking us another 1-2 years to finally buy our first property).One thing that we've discussed is house hacking while using an FHA loan.

Seems to me like an opportunity to give an investment a thorough once-over with a professional inspector and just check up on things so it's not a black box since the tenant moved in is pretty valuable. 

It will most likely be valuable for flippers.

I would not plan on revenue without their guidance, as you could be way off.A quick calc on AirDNA shows a 65% occupancy rate for Lincoln NE with a median income of $1600 a month, but some neighborhoods will do better than others.Good luck, and let us know how you make out.John

You need to step back, and allow the PM to handle all for you, But very important to find the best, one that does what they say at a fair price.Good luck Bob, you just have a ton of valuable information thank you for sharing.

The experience gained would valuable and allow you to repeat the process or look at other opportunities, including potentially OOS RE a vesting, being better prepared.This path is not passive or without sacrifice.  

I just need a little guidance before the meeting this Thursday.
