@Candice De I am in a similar boat as your clients. I was originally approved for a loan of up to $360k as my max ( +/- depending on property taxes). @Bridget Brazelton recommended that I reach out to a lender to see if I qualified for their program -- you can have a tenant sign a lease and use 100% of that money towards your monthly income. I went from qualifying for $360k to $420k!

I am still searching for a home but something to consider if your clients are willing to house hack or have a little wiggle room in their budget. There are some lenders in the area that offer cash FOR your buyers as well. I have been put on a waitlist for this program but another potential option. Good luck!

Hey, BP!

My boyfriend started a Sober Living community and is currently looking for a home in Centennial, CO to rent. 3-4 beds / 2 + bath. Does anyone have a lead or property? Does anyone have experience working with people or property managers in the sober living community? 

Would love to connect with anyone that's interested in hearing more!

Currently studying for Texas real estate license and planning to get Colorado as well. It's my understanding that Colorado has reciprocity with Texas and I would just have to take the Colorado exam.

Has anyone done this before? Did you run into any issues or hiccups along the way? What do I need to know?

I am no expert but I found this video to provide some really great insight (and maybe even a little hope?). Thoughts?

Hey, @Hanna Lupico! YES! We are looking to buy our first home there and then get into investing later - I should have specified. I think I wrote my initial post quickly and without much thought :)

@Ryan Kelly what are your thoughts on Buda, Kyle or other cities outside of Austin?
