Again, I don't have a large amount of time to spend managing the investment (or searching for it), but I can do some analysis to ensure it appears to be a good investment in terms of area, yield, etc. 

By appearing to mull things over for a long time, you’ll make the seller uncomfortable – and convince them you are carefully and cautiously thinking out your plan.

But this may change your perspective.If I were in your shoes I wouldn't be thinking about whether or not I should refinance. 

I don’t have an eloquent breakdown at the moment but if the numbers you stated are true, I’d lean towards that market, personally, if I was in your shoes. 

I’d probably in your shoes brrrr one property at a time.

The last adjustment was made in 2021, it appears.

Starting with a strong income and a good amount saved up is definitely going help you get started and keep the ball rolling.If I were in your shoes I would pretty much do what you are describing here already. 

It appears from talking to a friend that it may be possible to just file a 1040 and thus omit the tedious 1065s and 1120- one apparently has to do schedule E for the pass through income for the 1040.

It appears you know this and that is the reason for your post.

However, it had a similar effect on sellers, many of whom cannot stomach selling a home with an extremely low-rate mortgage just to buy another a 6-7% rate.According to the Wall Street Journal, “Almost 70% of households with mortgages have rates below 4%.”To drive it home, though, take a look at this chart of median single-family prices in Austin for 2022 (including December so far):The median single family home sold in November for around 20% less than the median home in May 2022, which appears likely to be the high water mark for some time to come.
