Among the major cities, San Antonio stands out with a 7.1 percent increase in home sales, but Houston, Austin, and Dallas all face notable losses.

There are so many options out there when it comes to joining a firm and online you can't get a real feel of what to expect.

But it does happen. the major risk is to the person you bought the home from. its their credit at risk.and of course if you put any down payment that would be at risk as well if things got bad.when you go into these deals you need to know if the bank does call the note that you can refinance and pay it all off or you have the cash to retire the loan.. anything short of that and your at risk .

I have reviewed at least 50 properties online using Redfin, Zillow and off-market properties from wholesalers. 

In our opinion, the only feasible way to do this job would be if the house were vacated and a major renovation were to occur at which time we could run new gas or electric line, trench the slab and run new drains for T&P and pan drains.This tenant will need to move due to it being unsafe.

As with all online revenue estimators, allow for room for error.

Most of the smaller, locally owned companies have terrible online reviews.

I'm also looking for great meetups (online or in person in the Northwest) that focus on nationwide investing trends and values as well as developing relationships with folks I can partner with. 

However; that also means you are not going to see major appreciation if any.

You should skim through some of my online content about this (I make videos for NYC househackers) on my pages - just google ClosedByMo.
