Everyone has the right to write about their experience but I would be more inclined to pay attention to the review of someone who has been playing video games for years than the person in your example who purchased their first Xbox with no past experience.

I hope no one is using this to actually purchase property subject to.

I am wanting to purchase a condo in the St Pete Beach (preferable Treasure Island) market post hurricane(s).

With those in mind, would a portfolio purchase get you there quicker, maybe. 

I'd have suggested a down payment assistance program for your first purchase.

Purchase price: $45,000 Sale price: $175,000 I lived here for a few years then when I was married it became a rental.

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $52,000 2013 Built in a Class B neighborhood of Houston.

This implies that if I had confidence of better than normal appreciation or ways to add value, I would purchase a negative cash flow property.  

I purchased the property from the Shelby County Land bank. 

These and 1000 other questions or concerns or issues that to me are potentially of vital importance to your purchase, your investment, your resale and exit strategy for the future.Real Estate is a team sport.
