My wife and I are in the process of converting our primary home into a rental.  

Eventually, I plan on super "spiffifying" this property, but for now, I want to remove a blight from the neighborhood and get it fixed up and livable.

I know the price is a bit higher for investment but i plan to eventually move to Austin in the next 2-3 years and would like to use it as a rental until then.

My favorite quote from that book is"Anyone who dreams of an uncommon life eventually discovers there is no choice but to seek an uncommon approach to living it"  - Gary KellerTo be successful you can't just copy what someone else is doing exactly, and you don't need to come from wealth and connections in order to be successful in real estate investing.  

Will convert it from a 2 bed, 1 bath to a 3 bed, 2 bath and (hopefully) re-sell later this year.

The 5 Bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home features a bedroom on the ground floor, three bedrooms on the third floor, and a loft that can be converted into a bedroom in the fourth floor.

I recently moved into a property in Sanford, NC that I plan to house hack and eventually keep as a LTR.

This is not that big of a deal in reality since the lease terms still are enforceable and it just converts to MTM.

So you will follow local laws on notices ets, and eventually file for 'unlawful detainer' in court.

I’ve thought about Corpus Christi area or Austin area due to having friends and family in those areas but don’t know those markets and open to other suggestions and advice.Looking forward to being part of this community and learning from everyone and eventually helping other rookies.
