As you know in Texas there is anti-billboard sentiments since the days of Lady Bird.

@Seth Golie @Cody Sperber  BP nation has a pretty negative sentiment on virtually anything that is paid training. this tends to be a DIY site.. and of course they have their own materials they sell which I have never bought or looked at personally.I do believe though you could shop E bay and buy virtually every providers of these types of services used from folks looking to resell them.. there is not really much that is new in RE .. for some one with zero experience there is defiantly a learning curve but most of the SYSTEMS are interchangeable and will hit on the same topics..

I agree totally with the sentiments of @Russell Brazil, @Cody L., and @Christopher Phillips.

@Phil Earley I understand the sentiment, however, she knew that this location would rent extremely quickly, has left the place in better condition that she rented it in, and the PM refused to answer phone calls or e-mails that she sent prior to purchasing the home, in which she attempted to open a dialogue about this.

Market sentiment, Economic performance. or which way the wind is blowing on any given day will determine what a property is worth and what people are willing and able to pay in rent before they decide to revolt against the whole thing, heheheheheh.

I personally couldn't sell my house now and move into a duplex (or any home for that matter) because of the sentimental value I have to it.  

If I flat out told someone I was going to buy their house and their neighbours and tear them down, the old people that are sentimental will slam the door haha.Any help is appreciated!

Downtown a lot of the rents and areas have already sky rocketed or have already been gentrified, are being gentrified, and there is some community sentiment issues because low income households feel they are being pushed out of where they lived for years and years.

My sentiments exactly Alex! 

I agree with the sentiment of @Mark Elliott but you can save some effort by using a mortgage broker.
