Congrats on your first house-hacked rental.

Do they mainly look for houses?

What if I told you that you could purchase your house by only paying for 20% of the property value?

I'd second house hacking.

Then start shopping for houses, don't engage in FOMO or real estate agent pressure. 

As a broker, you’ve already got a strong foundation, which will give you an edge in finding and structuring great deals.Since you're in Chicago, have you considered house hacking as a starting point?

And yeah, team’s the dealbreaker—our in-house management and tight underwriting keep us at 10% cash-on-cash, while I’ve seen quads crash from sloppy execution.

I replaced my old water softener with an AQUASURE from Home Depot, and it works just as well as the one I had before (which came with the house).

That said, College Station’s long-term rental numbers are strong, especially with Texas A&M’s continuous growth driving demand for student, faculty, and corporate housing.
