I am 27 years old and I am trying to learn everything I can about the industry. I live in OKC, Oklahoma and work in Edmond, Oklahoma.

I'm looking for a mentor type relationship where I get paid in advice for general ...

This is my absolute emergency fund...hope to never need it to pay for a major repair....I use about $10k to $20k of this to do some high probability options trading.

You can only deduct the part of the PMI paid that applies to that tax year.https://www.irs.gov/faqs/sale-or-trade-of-business-depreciation-rentals/rental-expenses/rental-expenses-1

The final sale price will be public record and being a real estate agent is highly competitive trade.

Now I am really hesitant to close this deal...Deal summaryLocation: Norcross, GAPurchase Price: $218kUsing conventional loan - 4.375%, 20% downpaymentmarket rent $1600-1650brand new (less than 4 years old) townhome, end unit, in a very favorable locationThis community/area has gone up $60k in the last 3 years and I thought there was some room for more growth given the market condition + desirable location. 15 year old houses are trading around the same price in the area, which gave me a little more confidence that this property could gain value in the next few years.

In Texas, violation of the tow statutes are also deceptive trade practices (can add x2 to x3 damages). 

I do not have any experience in the real estate industry(software engineer by trade), but I'm willing to put in the leg work to learn what works and what doesn't.

Part of the reason for this is it is expensive to have a couple architects on site for a few hours just to take measurements, and part of it has to do with us being able to rely on the expertise of the other trades.

I'll also post it to the town's Nextdoor and Facebook page, and the Queer Cleveland buy/sell/trade page.My question is, could contacting clergy about this be considered discrimination in favor of a religious group?

With my limited knowledge about Tx, Tx is a no license state, so therefore no bonds as well -- aka anyone can build; only some trades like electrical etc need a license.
