It shows dedication to the industry vs a Realtor who may be doing it as a side gig.

@Kevin Mika the property is located in Sulphur Springs area so not really on the west side but more northern. 

The down side is the payment on her home would be about what we would make from a long term renter (maybe $100 more than the mortgage a month). 

- If the market that you are looking into is hot .

If your areas is appreciating then you may have a winner.On the caution side make sure everything is in writing and that the other party is the sole owner of the property.

PITI: $1,200.5% Down Payment of $163,000 Purchase Price.Property Appraised for $190,000 right out the gate.Originally paid Gas/Water for both units and electric for 1 side, but am in process of switching electric over to new tenant, which should save $140-160/mo.

You also on the listing side should have been checking for the accuracy of the numbers, just like the buyers agent should have and did not.

Lol, I have gotten fired for giving bad news but on the flip side I've been hired for my no BS style, my tenacity, my extreme patience, and for tackling problems created by others.
