Everyone I saw going under went under for other reasons, and the market simply removed the breathing room on 1 option.

Assuming I raise enough for a downpayment, would I get approved for a second mortgage without much breathing room in my DTI after my current mortgage? 

Just take a deep breath and relax.

, flip/stage the home look so breath taking so there is no competition.

As long as you're breathing...there's hope my friend.You can do what I do but you got to hustle man.

You'll need less down, get better terms and have more reserves to breath or make improvements.

It’s important to remember We The People live, breathe and work here in Texas this is what makes Texas great and what inspires companies and people to move to the great state of Texas.

The city is one of the fastest growing in the country, great job growth and income growth lead us to believe there will be a solid flow of great tenants creating consistent rental rate increases.While the market here has been very hot there are still opportunities (more in the SFD with rental suites then the MFD)We are waiting with baited breath for the new infill zoning amendments that could make some significant changes to density opportunities in the downtown.

The potential to breathe new life into a property with so much character and potential fueled my excitement.

I think I'll pull through the end of the year on it's last breath and make the switch to Freshbooks for 2016.Good idea about GoToMyPc/TeamViewer, but I personally prefer purpose-built solutions for mobility (fewer points of possible failure).
