I still find it offensive and very frustrating that the city refuses to use any personal judgement whatsoever in the approval process.

This will limit you mostly to Spring, Conroe, and Tomball.My experience is that once the rents go significantly north of $2000, it's like pulling teeth to get them rented.

But long term, you want to get out of property management and focus on just finding/making deals, so I think that will really play to my strengths and interests.What has anyone else done to make connections and meet poeple if there appears to be no real estate investors club/meeting/group whatsoever where you live?

No mortgages present whatsoever.

That's why I call it the REO Roulette, I can certainly find no rhyme of reason whatsoever on any particular house as to what it will sell for, other than those that are obviously priced to sell quick from the start and you know they'll go quick, probably with multiple offers and for over asking.As far as how "bad" I want this one, not bad at all!

Hence, I had no obligation whatsoever.

day kick-out period if their review of the docs is unacceptable for any reason whatsoever. 

I have 2 in my home, and like 8 in mt rentals with no problems whatsoever, never need 2 flushes.

At the time of this deal, I had our primary residence in San Diego, 2 auto loans, and the mortgage for our first rental all counting against me for the DTI calculation.My wife and I figured that we could put the second rental property in her name as she has no debt whatsoever.
