Michael, Every bank has different rules.

Support didn't respond back to me until two business days later and then they asked to me provide some info to verify my identity (which I had already provided on the 25th) so I provided the info again. 

Of course, many investors bend/break this rule, but that's another risk.2) If your bid wins the foreclosure auction, you then have to deal with getting rid of any occupants - who may steal/damage everything they can in retaliation:(3) You MUST have a great crew on the ground that can minimize surprises - not easy to do on your first deal.Regardless if you buy a foreclosure or other property, read our copy & paste advice below:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Garland has some pretty onerous rules for STRs and even requires a license and inspections at every lease turnover for LTRs which has put me off investing in the Garland/Mesquite market period.https://www.garlandtx.gov/DocumentCenter/View/15034/STR-Info...

If you violate any of these rules you could blow up your IRA or 401k and the IRS could force you to distribute all of the assets in the IRA or 401k.

Also make sure you understand everything about adding an ADU including value of the ADYPU, financing, impact from rent control, duration between initial expense and initial income, true cash flow (know the 50% rule, at 50% rent ratio initial property tax will be near 20% of income)- educate.  

.✅ An agreement must be in place between the buyer and buyer’s agent before any properties can be toured.It should be noted these rules are in line with the NAR settlement and is an MLS participation requirement, not state law

All units have vinyl plank flooring.1% rule would make the listing price 570,000 using my LTR data.

It often might take asking why 5 times to get to the root why.Also, I notice that often that why shifts...for me in the beginning, money was important because I thought it gave me power, and growing up I was pretty insecure due to a lot of high schooling bullying...come to find out the power does NOT COME FROM MONEY, but rather from within after identity who you want to become and don't let your past define you. 

Generally the rule is - if you are changing the location(s) of electrical or plumbing fixtures, you will need a permit.
