It will be very difficult to cash flow in Austin using traditional LTR methods unless you put down a huge down payment.

Is the only way to pay for a Reno for my childhood home to sell my current home or is there a method I'm not familiar with that I can use my current homes value to help me out??

Does anyone have any tips on how to find the right guys or methods that you use to vet people? 

I could also just do RUBS on each of the 4 units based on # of occupants or square footage or another method (which is best???).

BRRRR method is also a great way to go - good luck!  

Cash for keys is definitely the best way to get people out in the day when I was very active at court houses steps cash for keys was by far the best way to get folks to move and bad tenants in a state with bad eviction laws to me would be the preferred method. you simply pay them when they are leaving the house not before.. that works fine and you give them more than 1k .. you make it worth their while..

When starting out in wholesaling real estate, it's important to use agreements that protect all parties involved while ensuring a smooth transaction process.

This method absolutely works.

If the seller files for bankruptcy, that will involve you in a legal proceeding.
