Purchased a few years back, rehabbed, rented for a year or so, hoping to have it sold in the next few weeks. they're building a city dump a few blocks away and i want to unload it before i have to deal with it.i'll tell you what i did. figure out how to find the auctions in houston https://dailycourtreview.com/ ($20 a year or $2 in quarters in newspaper machine in front of where they have the auctions)Also, the websites of delinquent tax attorneys Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson, at http://www.lgbs.com, or Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott, atwww.pbfcm.com, contain lists of the properties set for tax sale by the taxing units they represent.searched for houses near my current place research them (google/zillow/trulia/redfin/realter/har).comdrive by the houses analyse what you're willing to spend on itfind one or more that you're willing to invest indo a foreclosure title search a few days before the auctiona few days before to make sure it wasn't removed from the auction block, thus wasting a few hundred dollars.also to make sure there a no outstanding liens on the property that could cost you moreregister for the auctiontake a big wad of cash that you've been saving for years and get small cashiers checks 1k/5k/10k/etc to the auction and watch the other biddersthen bid..The property i got was starting at 30K... someone bid 30k, someone else bid $30,100, then i walked behind them and said $35k. maybe i scared them off by bidding 5k more, maybe they didn't want the property anyway.some of these bidders for $5 at a time trying to maximize their returns. i was new, and i'm 6'4", so maybe intimidating?

In fact, when I was trying to get FHA financing on a house, there were some issues with peeling paint on the exterior trim and some small missing sheet rock behind the washing machine spot in the the laundry.It was "not suggested" that it wouldn't be a big deal if I bought a gallon of paint and touched up the trim and also put a little 2 ft patch in the sheet rock on a Sunday.Overall, I do think the reality of repercussions would probably be negligible, but it was the straw that broke that camel's back on a deal I was starting to feel nevous about.

Fixed problem (they said what it was but can't remember specifics) = 143.00Week 3 Tenant said shower head is broken, towel rack is loose and there was a leak at the washing machine bib. = $105.00 This was all done without my approval, I let the first two slide because I would have agreed to them fixing them both (not the dryer vent) I don't even supply the washer and dryer so them complaining of a leak on THEIR washer and cleaning the vent to the dryer doesn't make sense to me nor having to fix a shower head?
