Generally speaking the western side of Lubbock is nicer than the Eastern side, but that is a wide over simplification.I decided to invest here because of cheaper houses compared to other markets (like Utah where you're coming from or Colorado where I came from) and nice cash flow.

How is it that this seems to be a widely used strategy for negotiating yet having enough cash on hand to buy a home is difficult.

In the link provided, search the number below to pull up the specific bill.https://phila.legistar.com/Leg...210078In the bill the highlights are buildings can now only be 25 ft. tall with a minimum width is 14 ft. wide, compared to 38 ft. tall and a minimum width of 16 ft. in RSA-5.

Even with the exact same property in sure we can take 2 landlords on here or 2 property managers and end up with widely different numbers.The important part is to account for some vacancy, I don't think it really matters to be that precise, if there isn't enough buffer for much higher vacancy it's likely not the right property regardless

@Richard SanchezYou have come to the right place to connect with the wide array of real estate professionals and investors.

I find that when a tenant starts asking for lots of repairs and changes, that they are angling to break the lease.

Fees can vary widely, I'd ask your state governing body and local MLS.

Even though my firm is based out of Indianapolis, our practice is state-wide and we focus only on real estate law.

Yes I realize there are lots of variables just talking wide angle view here.
