When finding the "right" location for long-term rentals, are there any neighborhoods or areas in Waco that you've found particularly ideal for maximizing rent and safety?

We purchased a property, signed contract for a 45-day SoW (cosmetic rehab, add AC) and after about 30 days it's been radio silence.We have been pretty patient and now at 60-days past closing we've engaged another local PM who is going to be re-keying, assessing rehab status and taking over from here.I think similar to OP there's nothing particularly nefarious or shady going on here, but the follow-through and ability to land a deal is significantly lacking with this team.

She's willing to pay the rent for the next two months to be a PITA, that is her choice.Inform her in writing the need to keep the AC set to a minimum level to protect the health and safety of the property even if she is not living there.

Hello,I have a preapproval for 3% down payment conventional loan, as I own no property.Haven't found a house I like, I wanna be patient looking for my to live-in house, but I still wanna get a rental property where income covers all costs while looking for my own house.My question is, can I get a normal 20% down conventional loan for the rental, and then later I get a conventional 3% down loan for my house?

Aside from nurses, a lot of patients do long-term stays in the area. 

I’ll steer clear of them and continue to look for multi family properties and be patient enough to buy when the time is right.

The issue that I'm facing now is whether I want to pull it out against one of my rentals or on my primary.I have found a bank that will allow me to borrow as a second lien on rentals but their rates are higher than what I could get when just doing it against my primary.What I'm most worried about is what happens in a worst case scenario, should something drastic happen in the market.From what I understand, using the money against a rental doesn't necessarily provide much more of a safety blanket in case things hit the fan because if, somehow, the HELOC lender can't recover their money, you'll get sued anyways.

I am not that patient. 2) value adds.

My goals are to provide financial freedom for my future family and establish a sustainable safety net if physical limitations prevent me from retiring from my current W-2s.

Unrelated to HOA but if homes won't pass the safety engineered designation, who demo's house and haul off and when does HOA or city make owner to remove?
