I spent about 8 hours capping and removing water and sewer lines and putting a couple of doors back in and some plugs in the wood floor and suddenly I had a 3br house.

Whatever is stored on the shelves will mostly cover it.If it's no longer used, you could remove it completely.

I was able to drive the property a couple of days later, and I realized no i should not chase a rezone, and actually property similar to this will be removed from my list. 

Did you confirm that they paid the back taxes and it was removed from the tax sale?  

If the house is done NOPE just customary for our market which is 5 to 10k what we focus on is how much downpayment and lender they are using.. a good portion of our sales are all cash so that removes that uncertainty..

Also advertising costs.On loans, I would hunt for an 5 year fixed interest only with low pre-pay penalties that you can refi when rates finally come down (hopefully).Landscaping / snow removal is legit and is more viariable than you would expect.

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

Cleaning and inspection tasks are auto created in Breezeway based on check out dates and assigned to my cleaners so they can see it in their Breezeway account.I could make this simpler by removing either Hostfully or Hospitable since they offer a lot of overlap features.

The option to get on the ground with everyone else and blend in, the option to remove myself from the situation and flee or the option if my life is in immediate danger to at least make an attempt to save it.

I am looking for a local lender in DFW to finance a few of rental properties as well.Thanks,Tal Hi Tal, my firm can finance 1-4 familes, condos and townhomes if that's what you're looking for.
