This is my main motivation to move markets.

And my main thought process is, it all boils down to your tenant screening process and what type of business you want to run. 

I ran to google after listening to the speaker and have been researching the pros and cons of wholesaling but mainly run into people doing it outside of my local community.

The two main things that blew our budget out of the water was the AC unit and the fence.

I totally agree with you on the HOA's, it's definitely one of our main concerns!

Just be up front with your intentions at all times and you should be fine.

Other than the main structure of the building most other things inside could go either way. 

Whereas, the guys selling the 20k mentor classes are the main character, Jerry Lundegard. 

So I bought a fixer upper single family house that was previously split into a duplex with the intentions of getting it rent ready and putting a mortgage on it to do a BRRRR strategy.  

I plan on purchasing mf in the downtowns of the cities surrounding Houston, mainly those with a more “Americana” type of feel( white picket fences, 4th of July block parties, neighbors worship together, founding families are still around and they let you know it, high walkability score, families are out on the street with neighbors, doors are unlocked.....)It is tough to comp certain property because they might be the only type (or one of the only two) AND some of these towns do not allow any more MF to go up, so the MF owners set the market.
