I know Austin; I don't know other markets.

Maybe you need to fork over a few thousand to run a market study in the zip codes you really like?

Before you start focusing on the team members, I would figure out what Out of State Market you're going to target.

Plain and simple, there are just better markets for cash flow with less archaic tax structures and market swings. 

I have attempted to put it on the market for sale, but there hasn't been much interest.

On the first occasion, I leveraged it as an opportunity to move the tenants along, complete some rehab, rerent at market...

For ROI, don't forget to factor in how much the house has appreciated while you've held onto it and mortgage paydown-ie don't just look at rental income vs your initial down payment. 

Perhaps to the tune of $2-$3k per month or more.Your property will, in average market conditions, appreciate. 12-24 months after house hacking you ideally will find yourself in the favorable position of having 5-10% equity through loan amortization and appreciation.

From our initial call to today, has been 2weeks.

Market rents are above $2k, per door.
