Hello everyone, a friend of mine is looking to lease his property in the Bastrop groove area. Looking for recommendations for a personable, detail oriented property manager . Pls inbox or post on thread. Thanks in advance!!

Im new in the investing space and im looking for more experienced commenters to give you more insight into how to navigate the financing aspect of things.

On a more personal note, if you do get involved in buying a property from a family member, my advice would be for it to be a clean cut to minimize any future problems. I personally wouldn't consider renting back to them specifically. 

Great points raised by everyone. I will take them into account as I move forward. 

 Thanks Wale, 

I haven't heard of the latter two. I will definitely review those. 

Thanks for the referral Jarred. 

Great to hear you're making a success of it Jordan. What areas are your properties located in? I have been exploring some lender options- I am leaning towards an FHA loan (not sure what the limit is in Austin- 540k? ) but I also have obtained conventional loan pre-approvals as I get started in the process.

Any tips on up and coming neighborhoods I should look more into? Pls let me know if its ok to PM you.

Hi all. Looking to gain insight on house hacking in Austin, TX. This is my first foray into real estate and following the information gathering phase , it appears that house hacking is what i'm most interested in starting with at the moment. I do have some flexibility in my job and can work remotely but don't want to be too far from downtown Austin (within a 20-30minute drive).

An ideal scenario would be a multi unit property , I plan to reside in one of the units while renting the other unit/ units out. Looking for at least one of the units to be over 1000 sq ft . I am currently have a price range of less than 550k as a benchmark at the moment and plan to put down 5-10% . I am looking at class B neighborhoods currently in this price range. I would like to hear from individuals currently doing this successfully or more experienced individuals who are able to offer some advice.

Thanks in advance.
