Both properties owned free and clear by our mother but my brother has the power of attorney.

If you want to discuss more specifics, feel free to ping me. 

I'm shopping insurance again this year because my first renewal is in May and Farmers is raising the cost by 30%.

Our experience in assessing renovation costs and market conditions gave us the confidence to negotiate a deal that promised a solid return on investment.

Nothing is ever free.

My family owns REI Nation and Premier Property Management Group, and while we primarily operate in the Southeast, we have one of our main offices in Southlake, TX.If you’re ever in the area, feel free to stop by and meet the team.

If gone unaddressed, complaints can lead to costly violations & fines.

Example:Let's say the backyard is 5,000 feet, the front yard is 2,500 feet, and irrigation costs $150 a month.

We were planning $600/mo mortgage payment, $100/mo insurance & $100/mo taxes - balloon payment in 5 yrs.We are providing $5k to pay back taxes ($4k), back hoa ($125), pump septic & grease trap clean out ($225), survey ($600)  & our children are paying closing costs ($1500).Deal stalled as owner backed out on seller finance.Suggestions?

This nonsense about paying full price off the MLS and using borrowed money to cover the closing costs is very alarming.You haven't said that, but a popular guru has and he has sold a lot of "memberships" in the process.
