If your units meet the qualifications of no-fault eviction, I would start the termination process over (because may 25 was so recently I would not gamble and try to amend existing notice that may be found not to be compliant with ab1482).  

I plan on starting out next year with a small plug and play solution to have minimum risk.

For connecting with local resources like mortgage brokers, investors, and agents, the Austin Real Estate Investors Association (REIA) is a great starting point.

If you ever want to connect, I'd be happy to do so and be of any assistance in getting you started on your future. 

Looking for feedback from folks who have been in similar situations and have lessons learned or advice, as I am just getting started and this is literally my first post.Wife and I moved out of our first townhouse and rented it out to grow our family 3 years ago.

From my side as the CFO of a developer, GC, and property manager, I see a 12-24 unit building(s) as the sweet spot to start—big enough for economies of scale, but not so huge you’re drowning in management complexity.Case in point: we’ve recently wrapped up two 12-unit apartment buildings, brand new construction and cash flow ready from day one.

It's a great time to get started.   

I am starting to learn about real estate investing and are super interested in learning anything and everything about it.

You have to front the deposit, which the contractor uses to get stuff done and that allows the drawing process to start from the escrow of rehab funds. 

If I would have bought a sustained portfolio with multiple units rather than starting with a single purchase I truly believe I would have lost a lot of money while my systems flailed rapidly attempting to catch up.
