If you are looking at roughly "all-in 50K", a down payment on a college student quad is likely to be a better bet than a cheap SFH.

@Tyler Flagg I have to agree with everyone on the floors your best bet will be to replace them, also a good coat of kiltz on the walls will help eliminate some of the smell.

A local bank is the best bet for a property like this, however they will probably require at least 25% down unless you have an existing solid relationship.  

And it changed regularly.Key cards seem like a good bet.  

Can't speak for SC, I bet you can make money there though with the right contacts.

I would bet that Katy acreage has been bid up significantly in the past few years.

Craigslist may be our last bet.

Way better than I'd get on my own, I'd bet.

@Arthur Zaragoza   I am not sure about others but I would have your take out figured out before I paid cash and counted on a refi.I would think your American relatives are best bet to get this done for you. they will be limited to loan slots ... then you can go portfolio and then lastly semi hard money if it makes sense.true non recourse with secondary lenders is in the 8 to 9% apr rates with 50% down..

That's probably a safe bet, but I would check with your buyers.
