The biggest challenge seems to be finding lenders that offer these loan products which is where I’m looking for help from the community with recommended lenders that serve Texas.The Fannie Mae (or Freddie Mac) options are preferred over FHA purely because of the (perhaps perceived) limit on renovation funds that the FHA option provides.

For example, I will tell them they must be out within 30 days, but they can leave at any time during that 30 days without just one week of notice.If they reject my offer, then I start to ramp up the leverage.

Offer: $575K.

Get out of your comfort zone.

Karin,I know I’m a bit late to this post, but I’d like to offer some advice for your future investments.

You are not allowed to compound interest.If you bought the certificate from the state on a best price offer, you charge interest on your purchase price, not on the full amount of the taxes that were due, but were not paid by you when you purchased.After you obtained your tax deed, you are entitled to something called "mesne profits" if you file an ejectment lawsuit against the former owner and they redeem during that lawsuit.  

For pricing- take a look at listing nearby your home on furnished finder and FB marketplace to determine what market rents are and the features and amenities being offered. 

They mentioned how Dom helped them narrow down neighborhoods for a multi-family purchase and even flagged potential zoning issues before they made an offer.

The seller had an offer for 250k.

If you own 25%+ of the business paying your w2, youre still self-employed.There are bank statement/1099 loan program as well, which is what you have been offered.
