one thing I have heard about the keyless locks is that those with the servo that slides the bolt back are subject to battery drain and when the battery gets low, the lock will not open since there is not enough power to slide the bolt.So, Joel Owens you might check that out for your mom -- would hate for her to get locked out due to battery drain (granted they should still open with the key...) -- just throwing that out there.

If you are looking for a purely SFR investment property in the Austin area, I would suggest looking only at entry-level-priced areas.

Tenant said it’s an old battery operated detector.

For those who are still looking to network w/ other investors. 2 REIA in the western suburbs that I have attended that is just pure networking. 1.

Soooo $30k pure profit in ~4 months is a bad thing????

This is pure BS, fantacy and not allowed per Dodd Frank at the Fed level and more restrictively the per State Safe Act (MORE RESTRICTIVELY per state every state may be different) with the Dodd Frank at 5 per rolling 12 mo and each states Safe Act which some are 0 (ZERO) some 3 some (??)

One of the reasons for the one-year rule is so that veterans don't use the loan to fund a purely investment property. 

Some properties don't make sense for pure investment but are good to offset mortgage cost when you live in one unit and rent the other(s).

Without pictures / an inspection report this is purely speculation.

Unless you have a plan to pay it off in a few months otherwise this approach will eat up all the cash flow and buying a property without positive cash flow is purely gambling.
