Gas going to be closer to 5/gallon than 4... car insurance probably 150 or so.

Might have to look into this...I'm still over here getting a new card for the $200 off of $500 in the first 3 months and borrowing free money for a year lol I've always done cash-back and just make sure I use the card w/ the highest percentage for whatever I'm buying - I think Amazon is 6-7% back (depending how how fast you want it delivered), Wal-mart had a good one (5% back) there but I believe their partnership w/ CapitalOne just ended, Costco has a good one (4% back and I think 7% on gas). 

The first neighborhood I would look at is anything next to infrastructure - if it has grocery stores, malls, gas stations.

Beside RE, am also interested in gas/oil.

It looks like one room is the dining room and the other may be a bedroom.If one of those rooms is a bedroom, you very likely have a roof leak.

Just musing ahead 10 years or so.With states now mandating the phase out of Gas/Deisel cars  How are MF owners going to attract and keep tenants that will now have EV's in the next 10 to 20 years ? 

Add a very diversified economy here with banking, insurance, oil and gas, education, three medical schools, 3 law schools, life sciences, DFW airport, and so much more, it looks like the growth just goes on and on.As far as appreciation goes, that's always tough to predict. 

When there is a vacancy, a leaking sink, a drip from the roof, a fallen branch from a tree, storm damage, a rough tenant, a potato down the toilet...whatever expense comes up in the future, and they always come up, that is what the cash flow is for. 

I definitely don't make any money off the place, but the airbnb rentals pay for maintenance and my gas driving to and from WA :-) Question: Have any of you missed some either obvious or not so obvious red flags that would have caused you to negotiate or walk away from the deal and if so what were they?

That's three hours out of that manager's day, plus gas.
