I'm a realtor, investor and own a construction company located in College Station, Tx.

I likely purchased this property too quickly as it was the 4th property we toured and we didn't negotiate on asking price as the house was previously under contract and my agent advised against lowering.

I went to high school and college there. 

Quote from @Andrew Self: Previous apartment.

My previous tenant left the yard in a poor condition before moving out.

It's likely they’re using this as an excuse to avoid paying rent, and there’s a good chance they didn’t pay the previous manager either.

It is now known as the Frontier County Enterprise, but previous iterations included the Hi-Line Enterprise, and before that the Eustis News.

This is assuming you haven't already done this during college (summer job or working part time)I would go where I can get a job in a commercial real estate firm. 

Or maybe you finally want to purchase a multi-family complex / self-storage facility / car wash, etc.

I like storage units, that's actually a good idea I didn't think about at first.
