I've been wanting to test out a new market like Texas for a while How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Unfortunately I noticed in some of the smaller communities near me, they are unable to provide any data.

This is only for 3/2.5 homes:All of the below data is the median data...Sqft: 1790Lease cost/sft: $1.62Lease cost/month: $2995Year built: 2008Days on market: 1224 days does seem high, even given the time of year.

Yes, there are new regs for 2022 regarding use of criminal background checks for tenant screening, radiator covers for steam radiators, and after July there will be new regs for lead paint testing. 

https://www.rentometer.com/ has been mentioned on the podcasts and is an ok way to test your rates!

Do a search of reviews or test each one out yourself to compare how they function.

That's how s/he gets re-elected.You should also remember, that if you do go into buying and holding in an impoverished county with data like Franklin's, the chances that you're going to come before the same DMJ in the future for something else are pretty high.

I don't think that will happen, but it is real data and it is happening in the short term.

That arrangement meets the owner occupant requirements of the VA loan.The reason I'd go this route, based on the data points you provided, is:1.

Some data: The value of the house "as is" is $100K the owner has a reverse mortgage for $80K.
