I have a investment property is Tulsa, OK. But I live in Dallas, TX. The home was renovated. The home was just rented out 2 weeks ago. The tenants 1st 2 weeks in home, almost everything that could break or stop working, did. I asked the contractor about it and the contractor basically did not own up to the many many mistakes and states the money is gone and issues can't be fixed. I have had to re-pay for all the major issues to get fixed seeing as I have a tenant and family in the home. I am still fixing major issues today. I would like to sue as I believe I have a pretty good case and evidence. So...

1. Should I open the case in Tulsa, where the rental property and contractor is located or here in Dallas where I live?

2. Any and all advice you all can give would be GREATLY appreciated.

3. If you are a Tulsa, Oklahoma or Dallas, TX Real Estate Attorney, please feel free to reach out. Or if you guys know a good Real Estate Attorney in these areas, please drop their names and/or contact info. 

Thank you! Have a blessed week! 

Can you refinance a home that has no mortgage? If so how? I've heard a HELOC can be taken out as the 1st lien instead of a mortgage. Any suggestions or information would be helpful. Looking to refinance my SFH in Tulsa, OK. Thanks.

Hello, 

I acquired my 1st single family investment property late last year. If you see my previous post. I acquired it for $1 and I was having a hard time finding funding to fix it up. Well I got over that hump and it is less than a month away from being finished. The house is not in the best neighborhood but it is definitely not in the worse neighborhood. The idea of getting it Section 8 approved was brought to my attention. I hear good and bad about Section 8. What do you guys think? Just FYI I live in Dallas, TX and the SFH is in Tulsa, OK (4 hrs away). Give me your Pros and Cons Please.

Thanks!

Hello, 

New Real Estate Traveling Notary Public in Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Any tips, advice or resources would be greatly appreciated.

I acquired a 3 bed 2 bath single family home out of state for $1. Has been vacant for 3+ years. I’ve discovered selling it is not the best idea right now due to a lien from 10+ years ago. So I got contractors in the house, estimated repairs and I’m having trouble finding funding for the rehab cost due to... 1. House is in such bad condition, does not quailfy for a traditional loan 2. The loan amount needed is too small for 10+ fix and flip loans I’ve inquired about 3. Since I’m a resident in a different state than the house location, the in state smaller companies can’t legally loan to me. Any suggestions or ideas would greatly be appreciated.... Thank You!
