I think this will really help the appearance of my offer when it comes to short sales, foreclosures and retail purchases.

I would like to thank everyone for all the great information but it appears that I may need an equity partner, not a lender. 

@Michael NguyenFor the most part apartments "multi family" have higher cap rates vs Office Buildings.Commercial leases are more bullet proof in court vs residential leases..Commercial leases are like guaranteed leases..

Hi Guys,I have a property under contract, the garage is on a hill and the downhill side post and beam foundation appears to have sunk 3-6 inches causing the garage to lean.  

I suggest going to the actual court and finding the leads yourself.

I do know however there are caveats that I did not cover such as location, population growth and Jobs but just looking at raw numbers it appears that what the seller wants and what the buyer would need to make this a good deal are pretty far apart.I would love to hear anyone’s thoughts on this and hopefully, any discussion that follows becomes a learning experience for all.

Looking at the market today, I am not sure that I am ready to jump back into Austin until the prices settle.However San Antonio appears to be a great market for investing and I would love to obtain one or rental properties.  

This property appears to not satisfy either. 

A listing appeared on the MLS today in a neighborhood I watch that has potential but it's listed as "Coming soon".

In Oakwood, OH, an investor took the city to court for their POS laws, that were eventually deemed unconstitutional, because they infringed on the citizens' 4th amendment rights."
