Hello BP people,I am Brad Jenkins, and I found the BP world through the podcasts while searching for real estate podcasts. 

when you are buying a house on a mortgage as primary resident is it """required""" to change my current license to the new home or can i keep my current license on my old home and never change it?

In 10 months, they beat the snot out of a 2.5 year old house.

My wife and I are just getting started in the REI world and we’re pretty excited.

There are so many great areas like near the military bases, the Alamo, Downtown, Sea World, etc to invest in that I'm overwhelmed.

In a perfect world, my investment strategies are as follows:1) Using FHA 3.5% or conventional 5%, house-hack MFHs in Los Angeles and get as close to breakeven as possible from rental income with a maximum monthly "loss" of $500.

I'm a 33 yr old married Austinite Healthcare Software Developer by day, and an enthusiastic RE Investor by night.

@Patrick PhilipThe beauty of much of this business for the investor is that while an investor sees a piece of land with a structure on it in terms of fungible value, a retail buyer sees a home and hearth, a place to raise their children, somewhere to grow old together with their loving spouse, a symbol of their financial competency, a mark of belonging to one class rather than another.

Definitely helped me get a head start in the rental real estate world. 

The 80 yr old owner had a bad property manager on site, he cleaned every tenant out and started over with 15 new tenants, with only 4 available units, and slowly working on the rest.
