Good afternoon BP.

Text me this afternoon and then I can call you back. 

I'd rather hear more of what will work, rather than what all would assume of the average, lazy, person.

Martin and will remain so for the next week or so, and my afternoons are best, as property tours typically last through 3pm for us.  

Rents may be low because of over building of student housing - remember that your SFH will be competing with lazy rivers and indoor gyms!

Good afternoon everyone can you guys guided me on how to get DEAL FINDERS /houses off market in Texas. 

Here's some general advice for 203k's: Select your partners wisely - Realtor, Lender, 203k Consultant, and ContractorREALTOR - it's recommended to work with one that has done a 203k in the past so they know what verbiage HUD wants to be added to the purchase offer contract and how to structure the deal.Lender - advise you to select a lender with verified 203k experience; the lender is the quarterback in the process, controlling the rules, paperwork, processes, procedures, and if the lender does not have sufficient experience with the 203k, your entire process can look like the Cleveland Browns on a Sunday afternoon.203k Consultant - The 203k Consultant determines the scope of work and pricing for the project and inspects the completed work; the lender is responsible for selecting the 203k Consultant (refer to Lender paragraph above).Contractor - strongly advise you to select a contractor with the accreditation as a Certified 203k Contractor; keep in mind that the contractor does not necessarily determine the pricing for the project (see 203k Consultant info above) but does need to know the different versions of the 203k, payment methods, timelines, paperwork, forms, and processes; definitely don't want to work with a contractor who is going to "wing it" on a 203k.You're only as strong as your weakest link.

To be honest I'm a little lazy and allow my platforms to do the security checks.

Also, there is someone in the house to avoid vandalism or squatters. and it quits being our problem at all.It occurred to me this afternoon that she might have to pay capital gains on the sale if we do that, but I don't know if the 2 out of 5 years rule is still in force, which would let her mostly off the hook.
