@William StricklandCalculate deals you can use a simple calculator, the issue is typically never the calculator but the data that is input into the calculatorGarbage in = garbage out and this is where experience and knowledge come into play.

.- Seems to be absent of any major internal issues.

Collin County seems to be over price, the same than Denton County, though you could find some deals there is always a challenge to find the right one.One thing to take in mind is the maintenance cost, Fort Worth has older houses that will cause issues on the maintenance, if you are looking low maintenance you will need to look a few and identify how you fell comfortable.

That will KILL your contact rate in its tracks, I run a call center for Real Estate so deal with these issues all the time.

I’ve spent 2k last year on various repairs including a major expense to replace the water heater, I am not overly concerned as this also contributes to the property value.

My issue is my credit took a hit during renovations and I had to evict someone that wasn't supposed to move in a property.

Fortunately there were no major surprises that would’ve made me go over budget.

His plumber came out and camera'ed the line and suggested the main line on the property may have issues. 

All said and done it cost me an additional $2300 in fees for the HML that went past its maturity date plus the appraisal, all this could have been avoided if they told me they had an issue with my credit score from the beginning. 

It counts the same, legally, as if you built a fort on the land and put armed guards in the fort to keep intruders off.Possession and ejectment issues are beyond my ability to explain in just this post, because it takes too long.
