My mother is in a similar situation.

You are already saddled and stressed with debt, I don't think you need an additional dose with hard money, unless the deal is one in a life time.

However, in order to initiate a "rent strike" and not pay rent, at least in Texas, there are specific notification and response windows that have to be met (by the tenant) and failed (by the landlord) before the tenant can take any of this action.If you have your requests and invoices for the efforts to remedy the situations, if the issues named were never reported, and If the report appears retaliatory in intent, you're probably in good shape.

These are usually 4 plexes sold  either through a wholesaler or  in a distressed situation.

Also I don't know what your current housing situation is but I bought my first duplex at 21 and lived in the downstairs and rented out the upstairs.

I was hopping to get some pointers on my situation.

I am new to investing and wanted to find out if other investors would take the risk with the unknowns listed on the seller inspection report pasted below (especially the plumbing situation below since I am unable to get the water turned on) or if it isn't worth it/it's too risky?

I'm motivated enough to do it, and think getting over the fear of doing it would be really worth while, I'm just not sure what strategy I should have going into these situations.

It will also depend on your investment situation.

I am wondering if there are any out-of-state investors who are/have been in the same situation as I am in?
