It would be nice to have someone local, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area so we could potentially do some work together or we could shadow them looking at a deal etc.. 

@Kristi Hill That was very nice of you!

@Ken Breeze Nice to meet you Ken, and thanks for the great advice.

Phoenix AZ is projected to need 150 thousand new apartment units in the next 10-12 years. 

As a new Realtor, I had a nice and challenging first offer fall through. 

We would do a duplex or triplex if we can find one that is nice enough and in a safe neighborhood (happy wife happy life!)

Dang.   50k is down-payment on 3 or 4 nice class C houses.

I would file the claim immediately and if there is a review submitted by him you can preempt his with a, “Nice guest and we were able to resolve the accidental broken TV.

I also note you stated you are purchasing with cash; whereas I've used reasonble amounts of leverage to get my properties - thereby keeping much of my cash for when I need to put down 25% on a nice $1M+ multi-unit property that I know will be coming my way very soon.

Nice!
