If I find a property that I am interested in, contact the broker for more information or additional details...What's next? 

I currently live in Barcelona but am interested in investing in the West Texas and DFW areas, particularly in student housing, single family, and/or multi-family properties.

I would start with the Fair Market Rents (FMR) in the county where the property is located and use that as a basis to negotiate from there.Thanks Jaycee, are to referring to the HUD website? 

I use a couple of different companies for investment properties. 

After talking to a local coffee shop worker I learned how many visitors came to the park each year and since then started scoping out properties mostly online.

Learn issues buying tax properties.4.  

Use the $25,000 towards reducing the home price, which would decrease my yearly property taxes.2.

@Sandee SampsonA construction attorney would be who to contact but you are going to spend a lot more than $7000 in getting this resolved against a builder.Also let’s say you win, the courts could also say you didn’t pay for a retaining wall which is needed so it’s a betterment to the property so you would still need to pay for the wall and they would be responsible for some soil etc.
