How do you choose location when buying a home when a consulting future is uncertain? Proximity to airport/ office? Ignore it and suck up the commute?

Why buy when uncertain? Maybe buy a place in a location you want to live in the future, rent it out, and rent a place near airport/office to ease commute?

Denver. Middle of the country and 🌿

Within 20-30 minutes of the airport.

Buy and make sure you can rent out (some condo laws don't allow it) if and when you move

Always buy for the school district. That is the best indicator of asset appreciation. One strategy is to choose city near where your family lives, it gives future-you a support network and you don't burn vacation time visiting the relatives. Agree on airport proximity.

I recently bought my 1st home in TX. I want to get into real estate and eventually own/rent out multiple homes. Are there any good recommendations/tips on books/articles/websites that others have used to get started?

I've read about HELOC and cash out refinance to get a 2nd home but articles are so scattered that it gets confusing which is better in terms of tax benefits and immediate costs, etc. Anything others have found helpful that summarized how to get started would be great!
