I have heard speculation of McQueeney getting drained in the near future due to safety issues with the dams.

I don't want to miss a good opportunity but I am also ok being patient - just trying to get all my ducks in a row, so I have the knowledge if something does come along - our credit is 800+ and we have about 900k in equity in our home with a 3.625 interest rate. 

I did find a realtor who has been great, she's very patient and willing to show properties to contractors for estimates.  

BUT, the mere fact that you are attempting to place a lender in a position in which they will now ostracize all other non-LGBTQ customers is a clear violation of the same regulations put in place to protect you and all other cousmers in the first place and is why they will decline to work with you in this manner... you are forcing them to encroach on the rights of other cosumers to access their services, which is a violation of the cosumer safety regulations impossed on them.  

We buy, fix, flip and manage and leave no stone unturned when looking for deals.We negotiate hard, buy with cash and close quickly.Gotta buy cheap in order to make margin but still deliver a turnkey property to investor at fair market value.I've always believed in "making money when you buy and not when you sell".So it's important to buy cheap.A strategy that I always tell all of our buyers when investing is to always "underestimate income and overestimate expenses".If you think it won't happen to you, it will and you can't go wrong including a margin of safety when predicting expenses.I hope that helps 👍

She went in-depth to talk about maximizing rent and correcting all the safety issues that were mentioned in the inspection report.

Be patient.

Our property managers who were routinely asked to achieve nearly impossible asking rents could not understand that the budget was not infinite.I tried to reduce the process (and friction) to focus on safety, functionality and curb appeal.

We lease by the bed and are concerned that students will lock their roommates out, causing additional safety concerns and lots of headaches. 

One example might be running a meth lab at your rental.In my experience judges come down harder on lease violations, particularly for health and safety reasons, than they are non-payment of rent.
