Hello,I acquired a condo through the tax sale deed in Harris County a week ago.

I vet a lot of passive offerings and am particularly active in MHP, SS, and MF. 

However, after their "exhaustive" search of thousands of lenders they partner with, they were only able to offer me one loan.

What should I look for before making an offer on a property like this?

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – and they often select the first PMC they call!

Then I find out a week ago they sold the property at a loss, ALL my capital is gone, and Ken McElroy goes on his merry way making youtube videos about how much money he is making. 

Therefore, remote investing is your only option if you do not live in a city that meets all these requirements.Regarding your concern about not being able to visit the city: You likely won't discover much more during a week-long visit than what you can learn from the internet in a few hours.

We have had work crews from a local lab and solar farm (separate bookings, obviously) for 3-8 weeks that rent the whole house in the offseason.

When I originally put my savings into Marcus, it offered the best APY rate at 0.5%.
