He has been a realtor here in San Antonio for 18yrs and in the investor side for 20yrs.

I am always looking for MFs, but in my hot market they are few and far between.

In fact the existing home that i want to tear down from 1942 has 2 car space access from the street one side and 1 car space access from the other side.

So this home is a pre-foreclosure, right in Riverside(which is a very hot area of the city of Jacksonville), I found it on Trulia.

I'm happy to answer questions you have on the finance side of REI.

The village of Globeville has become hot the past 12 months and I wonder if anyone has any thoughts or would share with me if you would invest there?

The contingency was on the offer she made on the other house she was trying to buy not on our contract which was the sell side.

I am not a lawyer/tax professional.Here is what the IRS says:https://www.irs.gov/publications/p463/ch01.htmlOn a side note, based on what I have learned from some professionals, your trip must be predominantly for business purposes: you must spend at least half of the total days on your business.

Taxes are definitely high in Texas and the Austin area market is definitely hot which makes it harder to find deals.  

@Kole Kingslien - have you considered buying a duplex, living in one side and renting out the other to get you started?
