Large pieces of furniture and appliances will be delivered.

For smaller stuff - the obligatory Target run, ikea etc - get yourself a rental SUV/van for the day. Zip Car, Hertz, Uhual Cargo van, etc.

Once every month or two, I’ll get a rental for a day and plan a full day of errands. Target, non perishables from the grocery store, etc

Hi all, looking to buy a fourplex in Austin TX. Off market they will accept $625k “as is”. My only financing option is fha it seems since I don’t have 15% down. Current rents are $4300. It’s in south Austin part of 78704 but a really bad street. My thoughts are it’ll gentrify and I’ll condo regime it. Any major concerns, am I buying at the peak? Are there other financing options I should entertain? First house so a bit nervous. Thank you!
