Welcome.....it's not easy, but plenty of opportunity here in DFW with hard work and effort.We have to be meetup central....probably 3-4 or more opportunities a week to get together with other investors and learn one topic or another....some lunch, some dinner, some happy hour, some on Saturdays.

Additionally you are released from any restrictions for occupancy after one year.So example I buy a property near the smokey in tennesses right I go up in that area every year for one week I would still have the keep the property still vacant for six months or can I have it up on the OTAS till the week I go ?  

She is based in the Philippines and plans to stay in the property every 2-3 years for only a couple of weeks.

As I’ll need to refinance in the next few weeks, any lending packages I can leverage? 

I will call you next week.

Yes the content can be learned for free by yourself if you dedicate hundreds of hours and have a way of figuring out what is true and what isn’t , but that is not what the value is.

Listings that have been on the market for a few weeks might be listed too high.

Even though they didn’t collect enough to cover the total $35k loss.) and a week later I walked the property to confirm I was happy. 

If you tackle one problem a week, you'll have 50+ problems solved within one year and will be prepared to manage your investment better than 90% of all landlords.

They would sit in the hallway in uniform from like 8pm till 5am 7 days a week till she was gone lol.
