I am friends with multiple attorneys, my neighbor is an escrow officer (who did our personal home's refi at rock bottom costs), we have a terrific realtor, and my father owns a major home inspection company (www.homecert.com <--hopefully posting links is acceptable).

OK about me. I'm 35 and I have a fantastic very well paying job As a regional manager for a great company that it would be very difficult to leave, but leaving is my goal! Not anytime soon, but years down the road...

We bought it for $23,500 on 10/31/13 and rehab came in under budget at about $8,500 which included tree removal, siding repair, Porch support post replaced, sheet rock and paint int., tile kitchen/dining, hall, laundry, new carpet living room, BRs, appliances, plumbing repairs, new ceiling fans/light fixtures throughout, insulate attic, new int.doors and front entry door (kicked in while rehabbing), blinds.

In the industry we call fiberglass filters rock stoppers.

Can I get a nice property in Austin for around $150000 (or less) 3/2 good condition ( I don't have the means nor resources to rehab then rent given I don't know a soul) SF Bay Area I rock and roll all day long.OK Gents...gosh you have been so gracious...hope to meet in the big A some time real soon!!!!

Before joining Castle Rock, I spent 20 years in lending.

It's normal for callers to first ask for the moon & the stars (read: wayy above market value).

I am Virginia Edwards, from Little Rock, Arkansas.

So if I want to change a window, a door, replace more than X amount of sheet rock, add/remove/move a wall, fix any electrical, change out plumbing, replace AC or just about anything else I need a permit pulled by a licensed contractor otherwise the city will fine me, shut down my job and have my utilities disconnected if I don't comply.
