My father seemed to have the same idea as he called and offered to sell it to me at zero down, Interest only for 3 years at 3%.  

Back in March/April, we couldn't get an offer accepted even when we offered over listing price.The rental market in Houston remains red hot.

(In our experience, when the owner has some cash to sink into the building, you can often do this in three months but will run the building financially in the red, so since we had to keep it in budget, we systematically worked through a host of tenant problems.)Fortunately, due to having great relationships with long term vendors, we were able to get a lot of the work done at a fraction of the cost some vendors would charge us and were able to really spread out the cost of these repairs.

Or you can add some light with bright red features to pull people into the space and create some drama. 

Either that or let that equity ride and leave it alone ... it is not really "dead" in my view ... if keeps your living expenses down and buys you a lot of safety, margin for error, and flexibility, and that is worth something to me at least.

I am trying to analyze the market and see which state has the best opportunity for me at such a young age.

Or is it just the cost of doing business since I didn't have a question about "aspiring graffiti artist" on my application.Thanks in advance,Fuming Red

Take a video tour and upload to YouTube and include the link in the ad too, then when people call make sure they have seen the video before they want to see the house.I rent to a lot of people with bankruptcies, it's not always a red flag.

To add on to what the others are saying I would suggest that a buyer who has no money for closing costs nor down payment isn't a serious buyer.Asking for down payment assistance from seller is a bit of a red flag to me.

I'm going to Staples to get yellow paper printed with red font does the font color matter for marketing purposes or is black & white ok?
