Reach out if you want to chat through some of these options. - Have you run the calculations for your monthly cashflow and rents for the area?

I connected with another investor that owns one (MTR) next to mine and they said they do really good you just have to make sure the property looks very nice.Another option could be looking into doing a padsplit. 

If you have the option to do it for 200 bucks, I'd say that's a good deal. 

Do the math with two different scenarios and you'll see that the best option is to focus your effort on paying off the debt first, then investing.Calculate the results on two scenarios:1.

But I guess my best option is to just purchase it at the current interest rate since I still need somewhere to live.

I'm a starting investor based in Austin, TX.

I'm optimistic that Air Force base upgrades (North) and the Trinity hospital development (South) will create a positive growth trend over the course of the next 5+ years. 

Based on my personal experience, owners seems to evaluate two primary cost criteria when comparing PM's, the monthly fee and the placement / leasing fee.  

Great to have that solid base.

Is it the listing agent or curbio has the option as well ?
