Only the most experienced investors with extremely deep pockets and a strong support team should venture out into what you are considering. 

Very accurate and a pretty deep pool of knowledge you have about real estate, especially in Texas.

You have to be a hustler with deep connections.There are still value add deals.

If you don't have a lot of experience and you don't have deep relationships with investors, you'll have to tilt the waterfall further in the investor's favor in order to attract capital.

I wish I was a real estate analyst with deep pockets and years of experience, then I'd feel qualified to do a deal.

I've been nose-deep in them, in lots of markets, for about 4 years.

Before I dive in deep, one last quick check to get any other feedback...I should have another 50k to invest if this goes thru....

Its a 4/2 4/2 duplex, 2400 sq ft total.The problem it is very hard to know how deep the mold goes without ripping out the dryway isn't it?

IT might have been better to dig deep and pay the vendor now and save your headache and renter frustration and relax over the next decade, with proper maintenance of course.

I probably need someone to invest with me but I don't know where to look for the deep pockets.
