I knew how important it was to keep learning new things and keeping ahead of the curve.

Tenants will be notified 24 hours ahead of time - not asked permission.

So if you want to gift a friend or family member the money, go ahead, but don’t call it a loan, and count your blessings if you get anything back. 

And if you can take action when you are 80% ready you will get where you are going light years a head of others!

 $8k ahead. 

I know I've got a long road ahead of me but I have a strong feeling everything will play out well on the end.

Okay noted.Here's a few extra details:The asking price is $200k (which I hope to talk them down further if my lender gives me the go ahead) and the zestimate listed on Zillow is $211k.This property is owned free and clear so I know for a fact that there hasn't been an appraiser through there recently.

I remember stories in the 2009 era of people paying off duty law enforcement to stay in their homes and/or park the patrol vehicle in the drive way. 

I also visited Dallas and I would say that Dallas is about a step or two behind Austin but 2 or 3 steps ahead of Houston, based on just places I would want to live.One more thing.

only allowing 1 or 2 months ahead will not work.
