(multiple highways close by) With North Austin booming, Hutto will benefit.Kyle is also on the path of progress between San Antonio and South Austin.

I think the middle road of trying to do both gives you the worst outcome (tenants damaging your property, lower price because it’s no longer new construction).Best of luck whichever path you choose.

As an out-of-country investor, it’s crucial for me to work with trustworthy people, and Mark has been exactly that.

A SALE at SOME (reasonable) reduced sales price with the BUYER then agreeing to LEASE BACK the home to her for 24-36 months seems like the best path to pursue.

Personally I would go with Bill's route as it seems like the fair path (split the remaining 2 months).

But while evictions have many similarities throughout the country, scrupulously following local law and procedure is the key to getting through the process with as little pain as possible.You will probably want to also find and consult a local real estate attorney who does evictions on the process, especially this first time, especially if you suspect you're going to be doing this multiple times in the future.I can't answer your first specific question better than that.

My hopes are to network, form connections, and learn as much as I can from those with the experience and create my own path in the game.

I had a beer with my brother recently and after I laid out my path forward with all the numbers involved, he said “you can’t afford to stay” … pension won’t be worth enough to justify staying in a job that has a pretty hard cap on earnings for a pension that won’t be worth enough to make a difference in my life, let alone the lives of my children.

Makes me wonder why more of them aren't making proper efforts to educate themselves on value and instead think that a house selling for say $250K is a great deal because it is much cheaper than houses where they are from. this happens at every foreclosure auction through out the country.. 

Seems like DC does not have to be the center of the talent universe and we can put more offices for less money around the country, like the FBI lab in Huntsville, NASA in various places.
