@Chad U.

My sister in law will be starting her residency at Wash U this summer.

@Pat Heidingsfeldercan u send info on duplex u have available?

West U. is very insular, there are very few marketable properties that slip thru the cracks on insiders.  

Use a promissory note and perhaps even a joint venture agreement.

I have a connection for pre-construction homes where the lender has a relationship with the builder and as a result, I get a reduced price on the homes. I also get a lower downpayment than going through the builder. F...

Looking to connect with Syracuse U buy and hold investors.

@Raj SHa you can try east/south or South East Austin...Elgin, Manor, Del Valle (DV)...you can get something for 275-305K and you can pretty much break even with rents around 1400-1800 but u put 25 -30% down...however this part of Austin is not preferred due to low household incomes, poor schools etc....but DV is now new home to Tesla with 50% of employees to be within Travis County itself with salaries around 50K/yr typical blue collar jobs and these are ideal folks for long term rentals..plus google velocity/domain type mall under construction etc...plus there is huge possibility of Tesla suppliers moving here as well.

You can get 10 loans and your girlfriend can get 10 loans, I'd recommend NOT buying them jointly.

But I’m not sure about living there for a year (this would be my property only, not a joint one between us).
