Account Closedkeep the house in Texas as a rental, and house hack when you move back to California.

Look for books on "how to repair your house". 

I originally created an llc to purchase the land, however decided after to buy it in my name and transfer into the llc after the house is built, rented, and refinanced.

You actually purchase 65% of the new property with your cash and a loan for the $150K. 

You have VA benefits to use to house hack and beyond so you want to tap into those, but don't rush the buying process, focus on learning.

@Rodrigo Barreiro PujolYour plan to house hack in Austin with a $25k initial investment is a solid start.

For a broker, reach out to Rob Arnold with Sand Dollar Realty.Do you need to get into a bigger house or just want to?

This can be solved by the lender being willing to add the buyer’s commission to the purchase price when calculating maximum loan amount.  

If the lender defaults, will the fact that I purchased the loan as an individual with no licenses compromise my capability to collect/foreclose? 

Hey guys,So I just finished rehabbing my first house and I intend to refinance it into a DSCR loan since I want to have the loan under an LLC.However my lender wants me to use a Property Manager when I would like to refinance.
