Put 15-20k into the property for renovations and to renovate the 3rd floor attic space and he told me it just appraised for 155k but you really need experts on the ground who can help you locate these deals and help get the best price.

Toby - getting your license for self representation of you're planning on doing a lot of deals is a good option.1) You have to hang your license with a broker unless you have a brokers license.

In the meantime, I'd like to get my Texas Real Estate License, but would like to know if I could do a few deals remotely before return back stateside to Texas, and can come into the office. 

Note, this is from direct experience.It might be wise to also consider selling since home prices are slightly up in the past 2 years. 

ThanksWhy would that many lenders put that much effort into the deal if you aren't committed to them?

Happy to chat about financing options if you have a BRRR deal you're eyeing. 

If you are planning on using your savings for Real Estate Deals, I use high cash value Whole Life Insurance as my saving vehicle(IBC).

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

What kind of deals are you looking at? 

If I have a problem with my newspaper delivery or something equally non-critical, I'd like an answer or fix  now, but if it's later today or tomorrow, not a big deal.
