You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

And from my understanding, you could be on the hook the whole time for the mortgage.

I understand this, now Mexico average interest is about 10-12% right now.

Understanding the laws and regulations in your state is crucial when it comes to managing your property. 

Ben, So what I am hearing you saying is you had a property in LA that was worth $755,000 and after the sale of that property, you cleared $366,000 which you turned and bought a property in Houston for $400,000 by using the $366,000 and adding $34,000 more in personal funds. am I correct in my understanding?

I understand that this is a big ask, and I'm not interested in pay.

However, Texas Eviction is telling me that since my loan is "federally backed" (my understanding is that this means that Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae owns my mortgage loan) that I have to post a 30-day notice instead of a 3-day notice.

I understand that the overall prices (and rents) jumped up significantly during the covid era and they stayed up?

I would absolutely understand how to properly thread this needle with the help of a good CPA. 

At the new price, I believe it will sell in the next 30 to 60 days.I don't understand why the mortgage company would prefer to take a loss on a short sale instead of allowing me to defer a couple of payments in order to sell it and pay them back in full.Can anyone explain this and do you have any suggestions as to how I should proceed?
