When an agent is acting for himself/herself - buying direct from a seller, the only disclosure needed is for the license disclosure - and it can be placed on the purchase documents ( the only requirement is that all parties must easily see there is a licensee in the transaction).

Leveraging our market connections, we identified the property’s potential and negotiated favorable terms directly with the seller, securing it at a highly competitive price.

I moved to the U.S. 10 years ago and have since started and sold four small businesses.

It does have a small garage.

You'd be surprised to learn that someone living in a rental or apartment, that has a family and is a successful small businessman, has the money and is willing to take that deal.

I own my primary residence in the Houston area (~$700k - 5 bedrooms, 4 and 1/2 baths, 3,500 sq. ft.) and a small rental property (1,500 sq. ft., $1,900/month).

So, your focus may need to pivot from high rental cash flow to little to no cash flow as a rental with an appreciation upside.I would recommend taking your $150K to $200K and securing a solid equity position in something that will cover its expenses and maybe provide a small cash flow, but then is poised to appreciate nicely over the course of the next several years. 

We are direct lenders, meaning we lend our own money, for flips within approximately 1½ hours of our home.We walk through every property to avoid surprises and to confirm the rehab estimate.

It's a small but big town.

It could be a massive failure, but it could also be a small - moderate, LTR win.
