About this Event

Most homeowners are told there's one path: list the house, use the equity, buy the next one. Nobody sits you down and runs the other set of numbers.


If you bought in Austin before rates moved, the house you're about to sell may be the hardest asset you'll ever replace. Your rate, your tax basis, and years of a 10% appraisal cap holding your property taxes down. Sell it, and none of that comes back at today's prices.


There's another way, and it's more available than most people think.


Come find out how rental income can actually help you qualify for your next house, what happens to your property taxes when you move (the part almost nobody warns you about), and what it really takes to be a landlord in Austin without it taking over your life. We'll talk through the timing, the paperwork, the screening, and the systems that make it manageable.


You'll leave knowing whether this is a real option for you, and exactly what to do next if it is.


Come and get a free rental analysis of your current property. No obligation, you'll just know your number!


We’ll walk through:

  • Can I actually qualify for the next house?
  • What happens to my property taxes?
  • How do I become a landlord without hating it?
  • When do I do what?
  • Bonus: Live Q&A with an experienced agent team specializing in creative homeownership strategies


By the end of the night, you won’t just “know more”—you’ll feel way more confident about what could be possible for you.
