I currently live in WA state and invest out of state for buy and holds.

Best thing is to call the housing authority that manages the voucher program in your city/county.

However, your investment in the house, officially called tax basis, did not go up.

What you describe sounds a little like a BRRRR (Buy Rehab Rent Refinance Repeat). 

What is this strategy called?

Usually you have to pay for the privilege of getting a return phone call from an attorney.(9) We have over 30,000 of uncollected judgements on six cases and like the LA fires, try to forget about getting back what you had, move on and take precautions never to get into that situation again.

I generally agree that buying SFH as first investment is an easy way to test the waters; however, if you’re set on REI I suggest buying a duplex or quad.

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.

I pinged Henry on the side to hopefully connect.Do you know of more properties that meet my buy box (1 hour outside of Dallas, cash flow year 1, <$500k)? 

Keep it simple, paint and carpet, buy a good house in a quality area.
