@Art LomibaoIt depends on their Equity, if they bought for $300k and only have $100k in equity then no an offer of $197 won’t make it happen, if they have higher or full equity then it could happen.

Knowing what to defer and what to pay attention to because it will kill you on the inspection is a fine art. 

No, especially not when you are converting from a physical classroom to online, you can't do the same activities or lessons you did before, group projects are harder for younger kids, any art project more or less goes out the window. 

My gf and I want to invest in real estate (I.e townhome, small home) in the oak cliff, bishop arts, trinity groves, or other developing areas in Dallas.

This probably doesn't help you,  but I have the full version of Adobe and a blank lease template that I complete the appropriate fields and then send the lease to the tenant via email to electronically sign.
