Yes and no.If you are simply assigning your contract (essentially selling your contract) then no you do not need funds except for the earnest money deposit.

Not sure if you are willing to do repairs or have access to buy with cash - if so you should network with wholesalers in the area to get non-MLS deals or to make your MLS offers stronger.I don't mind repairs (except foundations) and can do all cash deal up to $60K.That's actually my business plan in a nutshell: find a property with ARV of $100K but selling for $50K + $10K repairs, buy and repair it (all cash), refinance to take out all my money, rent, move on to the next one.Finding that property is the key though.Do you know any good wholesalers in DFW?

We meet a local restaurant just to meet and talk, no charge except for food/drinks.

What he found was that they were, without a single exception, 100% happy with the community.

I'm finding conflicting information online. 1 says landlord cannot evict when lease ends. another states that there is an exception to landlord occupied properties.

We don't allow pets and make rare exceptions with a pet deposit.

I didn't do anything except show the property once.

Obvious exceptions include if the person is coming straight from their job as a mechanic or something where we'd expect them to be unclean, in which case we still judge their car.Another screening criteria I have is: no prior evictions.

Our agent now wants us to remove all contingencies except loan contingency.

As others mentioned you can also look at the average day on market but for the sake of answering your question, you would have to pull up the number of listings in a neighborhood and divide it by the average number of sales in the last few months.They both will lead you to the same conclusions as to which neighborhoods are hot except that neither of them takes seasonality into account (slower winter months will affect your calculations and won't reflect what's going to happen this spring).
