Quote from @Rereloluwa Fatunmbi: Quote from @V.G Jason: You literally jumped in the fray of an oversaturated play in a really suspect area of Houston. 

Turning a "SFR 3bed / 2bath with a bonus room" , into a 4 bed / 2 bath with the simple addition of a closet, is one of my favorite value add plays. 

We are coming down to get a feel for some neighborhoods we've been looking at moving too and don't really have too much planned so I thought it would be a great time to connect with some lenders, investors, contractors, and liked mind individuals while I'm there!

Like I said before - if I, as an individual investor, can make the fee payment at once, how can RADD, as an entity with that type of professed liquidity, not refund the exact same amount - not more, not less - at once?

Ideally I'd like the ability to invest in individual stocks of my own choosing (fractional shares is a plus), a diverse option of index funds, and ETFs.Has anyone found a great banking option to have the most flexibility with your HSA investments?

Quote from @Sandra Morrison: @Shannon LeckingerI have STRs and LTRs - your condo will be possibly more of an appreciation play but you can’t pay bills with appreciation.

Better play it safe and use a warranty deed instead.Also, later on when you sell your property, it will keep the chain of title cleaner for the next title insurance.Last but not least, a warranty deed does not cost more than a quit claim deed...

Because the chances of successfully concluding a wholesale transaction when you lack experience, knowledge and capital are so infinitesimally small that you’d be better off playing the lottery.  

IMO, the best strategy for that type of individual is to purchase residential property in an area they are or can become familiar with; in an area where the neighborhood is “on the rise”, typically where demand exceeds supply and people are spending $$$ on fixing up properties.
