I’m sure more agents on here will be able to expound on that for you more than I can. 

@Patrick MooreThank-you for expounding on these things.

Please expound on this.

Can you expound upon why renting would be financially better for you?

Can you expound on any of their fees and business requirements, specifically if they require you to be an official business entity (e.g., LLC, Scorp) and if they have a unit minimum.

This doesn't make it a bad source for info, just a "one sided view"To expound on that, while the writer is using data to support their conclusions, you need to be careful of seeking out your own confirmation bias....seeking out and only relying on the information that supports your presuppositions.  99% of investors, in any investment vehicle do this.

@Eric Y. was hoping you would expound upon this statement a little more: "Every lender I go to comments at how well prepared I am with my PFS, even adjusting their recommendation for my loan accordingly (apparently they weigh preparedness as a part of their criteria)"Would you mind going into a little more detail as to how and what you mean by this.  

To expound on what @Gabriel Esparza said, you can't trust sites like Zillow and Redfin for pulling comps in Texas since we are a non-disclosure state, meaning sales prices are not public information.

@Kimberly H you had some great info on Chigo expounding on the subject as well but the credit for the question that caused @Charlie MacPherson to shed some light on the matter belongs to @Joe Splitrock.

Thanks for expounding in more detail Linda, and helping people see the 20% from the existing owners perspective.
