You just have to keep moving forward and trust that it will all make sense eventually.

The asking price is under $125k and like mentioned earlier, the renovations would be 50% so there are major repairs (not move-in ready). 

I recently moved to the DFW area and want to get involved in real estate in the near future (looking to buy a property in the next 6 months to a year).

.- Institutional Capital & Private Equity: By moving from hard money to institutional financing, you can secure larger credit lines with better terms.

we have to have pre sales my bank will only give me a certain amount of spec loans but unlimited amount of pre sales. its the only way to keep velocity when you have a larger project like us ( 90 homes) We have been blessed no questions about it.. we made some critical decisions when we started that now look like genius moves :)

In 2009 I renovated my own apartment and moved out.  

Quote from @Austin Brummett: I wouldn't do anything right now except continue to save and learn, because you are likely moving soon.Lenders usually want to see two years of employment history, so you won't qualify for a loan any time soon.

Investing out of state in the KCMO area sounds like a smart move; it’s such an interesting market with plenty of potential.

@Gil CanfuBased on my experience working with over 400 investors, investing in a single-family home in Dallas with a $300K budget is a smart move due to the area's strong rental demand and appreciation potential.

One thought was to move the thermostats from the apartments to a single conditioned space and place temperature monitors in each unit to make sure the apartments are at a comfortable level.
