@William R Matthews, @Caleb West, The Lubbock market is solid.

If you can use a 5% down conventional loan, that should get you into a solid property.

Not for everyone but has pretty solid numbers and you are right there to manage.

He did not at any point notify us that we were not fulfilling our obligation of maintaining the lawn properly so even if he did send over a crew multiple times to maintain it (which living there we saw no evidence of this), can he truly just pass that expense through to the tenants? 

Both of these solutions would still have a solid-sized living room.

Be sure to have documentation or other evidence to back your claim as that will help the board make a determination.

Since we launched the last year has been solid  - Since we have lived on the property it only would cost us around 50 extra a month for water and utilities from what we were already paying.

I will prepare this as if I will be taken to court and need to provide detailed evidence on the amounts I have deducted. 

With that being said, we only put durable finishes in our rental properties i.e. wood-type vinyl plank flooring and solid countertops.

I’m pretty new to real estate investing and I wanted to ask about people who any of you thought were solid mentors within the business I also wanted to ask how any of you feel about this real estate investor known as mark whitten
