Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

Some people go to Lake Lewisville/Dallas/Grapevine, but I don't hear about them spending the night and there are pretty limited options right on the water.I still hear a few people going up to Broken Bow/Hochatown, but that talk is way way down since about 2021. 

These can be further broken down into lender closing costs and third party closing costs.Thelender closing costs can include underwriting fee, processing fee, funding fee, origination fee, credit report fee, and tax service fee among others.

You find the house completely trashed with missing appliances and cabinets, tenants were cooking meth, windows broken, etc. 6-8 months of unpaid rent, unpaid utilities, thousands to empty the abandoned property and trash, $50,000 to completely renovate the property and make it rentable again, plus all the time, energy, and stress along the way.I would actually argue this is pretty common and not even the worst-case scenario. 

Depending on your exact setup it should be between $16-28k unless are doing some unique setup.Typically, we don't see panels getting broken into 125 and 50 it's usually just 100 across the board. 

I’m looking for some valuable tips on up-and-coming areas and would really appreciate any insight you can offer.

Any tips to get the seller to come down on price or fix things to get the best value? 

I’m interested to know what first steps you took and any tips you might have for someone just beginning.

I am 1.5 years down the line and the air conditioner does not works, the fridge bas broken twice, there are rodents because of incomplete basement.
