I wonder if there was any buy back or crawl back against the HML ..

He can't 'buy her out' as he does not have that much cash liquid.

I took quite a break from buying properties and now on the hunt again.

Need to buy all again.Had stocked packed linen closet but not anymore..need to stock again. 

I feel as though your buy box puts you in a position for more flexibility. 

If you are just starting out, this is for you:When you buy an investment property, it is treated differently than a house you are going to live in. 

It's also rare you buy these properties with 20-25% and have NOTHING you need to address almost immediately in terms of repairs or capex. 

These included cash buys for flips, seller financing, and subject-to deals.

Quote from @Sofia De Santos Tavarez: Hello, my husband and I are looking to do our first rehab in a different city than where we live (we live in Austin and looking to buy in El Paso), and are wondering how one determines and writes a scope of work and determine what material to buy for what.

Your investment property - This you could do a 1031 exchange on and buy another property you intend to use for investment.
