The economics of the market will give you a good idea of it's health and future growth (or lack of).Since you're considering three Texas markets (Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio), coincidentally the same three Texas markets we offer to investors, your decision making is a little easier in that they are all great markets with very good fundamentals.

This promotes confusion and allows for 'Guru's' and mentors to make statements or infer concepts that are not always true.

In our "house rules" we clearly outline when the Tenant will be responsible for the cost of the service and when the bill goes to us {our providers also know this} ... but we stress, if they are in-doubt and the matter is urgent (i.e. poses a safety or health risk to them or other Tenants in the building or if damage to the property is occurring) to err on the side of precaution and call us.

I first discovered wholesaling years ago when Preston Ely was promoting his wholesaling book.

The reason you hears so much about it is pretty much is that it's an easy conept to sell, promote, teach and devise into different products, not that it's the best strategy in a transaction really.A seller who is motivated to get out of a property that is not very marketable (say in a poor condition or a poor location or even a good property but the owner must dump it) may consider the income to break even and get away with a future sale.Done properly, they are not easy slam dunks that you hear about and if you put a tenant in as a sandwich lease, you can have issues.

I prefer the NorCal one.Unclear of the promotion rules on the forums but you can Google both of these and they have pretty good meetup.com pages taking about the who, what, where of the meetings.

A detached gagrage will have same basic requirements as the house, as for health and safety-no trip/fall hazards, safe electrical, etc.
