While you are hustling and grinding to raise the $50,000 nest egg, ask all your co-workers the same thing. 

@Juliann Morala Yep, a buyers agent that works exclusively with investors will have all the info you need and lots of options on contractors, lenders, attorneys, inspectors, property managers.

With a bit of planning and good operations, one can easily manage 20 to 30 properties without an assistant, with less than a day or two a month.There's lots of automated ways to check on rent, make deposits (my tenants deposit directly into a bank account), receive maintenance requests, have maintenance done, etc., etc.One thing I could argue is to have your tenants ONLY email you, especially for maintenance requests, and that email goes directly to the vendor that you have set up to handle it.

I did overlook this one.

Padsplit is a new one too that people use to rent rooms

For the time being, might as well get a mortgage in one person's name.Best of luck.

All the best!

And in cases where the pin is in another name does this mean that if I purchase it through repo I will not be able to stake claim to the property or will it simply just be an eviction on my part (I understand no one can tell me specifically on these items I am just looking for advice)

welcome, would love to invest in Austin one day!
