Houston was the first market I was looking into and came close to buying a condo in the Alief area but put the brakes on right when Harvey hit. 

Do you get called for your OK over a particular amountwhat is their tenant screening processwhat is the commission for new tenants - if they brake the lease do you get a new tenant process freewhat is the rental range and deposit requirements?  

Then put your deal together with a fluid closing date that is shortly after the closing of the sale of the 1031 property.  

Having said all of that, I think you should ignore everything I've said IF it somehow puts the brakes on your desire to get started.

You just need to be fluid, you can't expect to get 50% under market value these days.

Justen Ashcraft If I read it correctly, you have a mortgage that was sold to another lender.the new lender has yet to start reporting but the old lender closed it out.this should go back up when the new servicer starts reporting but your credit score is fluid and changes daily so other things you do also have an effect on your credit

Hi @Lindsay Brake, I had the same issue but luckily the appraiser was able to find comparable homes that had sold nearby and appraised the home at 183K.

A you are an investor; fluid, you may need to dispose of a property now or borrow against it at the lowest rates, or pull money out or any other number of scenarios.There are honestly so many different ways go about protecting your assets and all have their upsides and down.

Will the bookings be scarce while the Covid situation is still fluid?

Having 4 boilers , 4 water heaters or or cooling  units can be costly if one brakes down.
