like i said the melt downs in the GFC were in the areas were new construction was a major driver.

I require a picture of their drivers license be texted over along with the time they want to view the house.

So I want to come back and start here.I currently am a part time employee at a Dry Cleaners and an Uber Driver in the Northern Peninsula.

Can I file Homestead Exemption for this property given I get Texas driver's license? 

You're in the driver's seat to position what that refinance will be to account for rent minus expenses, etc.

But the Cleveland Clinic is building new hospitals, which means more nurses, medical techs, ambulance drivers, orderlies - people who RENT and are in a stable industry. 

He'd fix them up and then sell them for a profit, or keep them as his daily driver car. 

I agree with Bishoy,job growth and steady large employers are key to determining a healthy rental area.Indianapolis,Memphis and Dallas are great because they have affordable properties to buy to rent to steady employees like truck drivers,FedEx,UPS,and air cargo employees whose jobs aren't being shipped to China or anywhere else.Alabama has car and aircraft manufacturers growing and moving in there.North Carolina has techies escaping the high cost of California.God knows everybody is looking to move to Texas for manufacturing what little we still make in America.Georgia has become one of the biggest areas for filming Hollywood movies cheaper.That is where my money is headed in the next 3 years of buying properties.

The other driver was drunk.

You are in the driver's seat being able to close quickly without a financing contingency.
