House hacking would have a number of benefits in your situation such as:* The ability to pickup multiple units on one shot with a lower down payment* You will lower or even eliminate that $2100/mo rent you are currently paying * You will gain valuable experience in property management without having to do it at a distanceIf you are going to continue to rent for the next few years, its a no brainer.

I have several investors and I’m not sure I have the ability to move fast enough to utilize all of their purchasing power.

BRRRR is the most efficient way to start/grow a small portfolio, but impatience expressed financially is debt, so you can't be shy about racking up mortgages.Once you get going with BRRRR you will get to a point fairly rapidly where your personal income streams that exist now could not cover your debt service payments for your investment properties and how far past that point you are willing to go will determine your growth potential.

I would pass on it unless it was owner financed at 0-5% down, held in an llc, with no personal recourse on the loan, in a class A/B+ neighborhood in a city with 3%+ job growth.

A shortage of employees can produce a variety of negative effects, hindering the ability to grow and expand, or even to meet existing staffing needs.

Robust economic growth in the Austin area has created many thousands of jobs and will continue to do so for years to come.
