This is generally speaking- you can always find a golden unicorn,  but depends on how hard you want to look and how much you want to compete and you will be fighting very experienced buyers in Austin, w/lots of bidding wars.  

I have done literally hundreds of closings with no title escrow or attorney and lived to fight another day.

Being analytical in nature I have to fight against the analysis paralysis when looking at non-performing loans because its easy to find things wrong with them,  but that's why they will sell at a discount. 

if you fight it, whats the likelihood you'll win the case?

I told her I didn’t want to go through the fight again but she insisted she could do it and do the appraisal for free on the house so i let her do it.

@Thomas Dunleavy there's so many in the area and they are all fighting for attention just call them up and make a deal ;)

I had a bad experience having 2 people sign a lease around 6 years ago.  10 months in there was high drama - couple was fighting, police were called, he kicked her out, she wanted to kick him out, etc. 

It's not worth the hassle for us that a tenant fights over $100 repair deduction (speaking generally).

I estimate it would last another 5-10 years under ordinary circumstances so I'll charge the tenant for that amount.Another suggestion: don't take a "pet deposit" because that implies the funds can only be applied towards pet damage and tenants can fight you on it.
