They're paying a premium for the conveniences downtown has to offer but that's o.k.

Go to one of the meetings like the one @Bryan Hancock mentioned, and we now also have on once a month in South Austin if that's more convenient for you.

I could go on, on , on...but just a tidbit for inspiration...The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in time of comfort and convenience but in times of challenge and controversy...MLK Jr.

I haven't had a car since 2006 (my husband needs one for work so we have a car but I only use it to get groceries) It is just a matter on convenience - we both work full time jobs, we both travel for work (I spent 11 hours in an airport yesterday) and we do this on the side.We do not get calls often (once a quarter) but our properties are a 10 minute drive so when the tenant calls at 9pm we can shoot over there quickly and still be up for work at 6am.

Little convenient stores everywhere.

Many of the rules and restrictions that make FHA's basic single - family mortgage insurance product (Section 203(b)) relatively convenient for lower income borrowers apply here.

These are the people that cannot qualify for traditional finance and the sub-prime meltdown has conveniently added thousands to that pool of buyers.Lease options have been around for years, the sandwich lease is a great way to generate cashflow from property only - it is NOT a buy/hold strategy.

A strange twist that these conveniences can easily be construed as liabilities and haven't led to an increased amount of personal time for many.

You will need a purchase agreement along side other documentation that the bank will tell you.As David has been trying to impress on you, you are better off using a professional agent or a lawyer to do this deal- so that you cover your butts - just in case the seller later conveniently forgets and claim that you duped him or whatever...Regardsnii

This would allow me to live in an area that I like and is convenient to my work while buying properties in areas where I can actually obtain a positive cash flow.
