I started out with buying a couple 2 Bedroom 1 Bath rent houses for 45 & 55 Grand. 20% down on each using my primary residence equity as collateral.

I learned a lot from courses way more than $197.00 bumping a couple grand each. 

The Grand Parkway (99) is being built in stages on the far west loop, connecting The Woodlands, down to Sugarland.  

Welcome to BP @Kirk RobertsHitting that grand slam happens from time to time, but most here would suggest the slow and steady route instead.

Why not use the 80 grand as a down payment on a smaller place so you can have something of your own to move into if you have to short your townhouse?  

You can take the seller provided title that's questionable and save money, or get your own title policy that will cover you but you are going to run up your closing costs a couple grand. 

The amazing thing about Hispanics is that they are multi generational households, many have kids and grand kids and great grand kids in the same house.If the family is cash oriented, HISPANICS FIND A WAY TO PAY THEIR LANDLORD!!!

Grand Rapids is an exciting market.  

For about a grand more, I can get an entire system installed.I think there are 2 types of TK providers.  

Chump change in the grand scheme of things.
