https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1171104-the-m...My two cents is that you can get positive cashflow on good properties in the right markets,... but that you shouldn't be counting on it.

You will usually have a chance to look at the property before putting down a deposit, but don't count on scheduling your own inspection.

Then they suddenly told me my taxable brokerage account doesn't count as reserves but they won't let me sell and move assets to a checking account because they won't be seasoned for 60 days.  

It ended up being on the Harris Count Civil Clerks site.

What this also did ( since post count to many is a reflection of experience and skill set in the space)So other members would get a false sense of these posters bona fides.

Properties mostly have bay views, but the condo has a sky bridge that connects to the gulf side for easy pedestrian crossing.

In order to count rental income from the departing residence to qualify for the new FHA mortgage, the new home has to be 100+ miles away and you must have 25% in the departing home. 

The other sucky rule the city has is the minimum rental length is 7 days so whether you rent for 1 day or 7, it counts as 7. 

Building small units in small counts is expensive development.  

But again...at WHAT point does "flat rate" billing cross over into fraud?
