very sorry to hear that. a lot of "professional" unfortunately only look at you as a number and not a long term relationship. you should be able to put a complaint against home inspector to hopefully recover some damage they missed

If you can get over $2500 per month in Jacksonville on a 300K property, good luck, but if you can, that loan is out there. 

A good condo board should be saving money for larger projects as they are known in advance (eg every 25 years you need a new roof). 

Also, there may be a very good investment channel that reviews cash on cash return in Lynchburg, InvestLYH. 

As you're just starting out in Austin, focus on learning the local market, particularly areas with good rental demand and lower entry prices.

Good morning.

Good luck with your journey!

@Gil CanfuWith a $300k price range, you're definitely in a good position to find some solid investment opportunities in the North Texas market.
