I was going to buy my first rental here in Houston, TX, I was going to put 20% plus pay closing cost on a 94K ranch style property, I'm about to put 30K to acquire this, I think this is excessive, I'm doing something wrong, anybody can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The taxes I can understand depending on a personal situation..I do agree that I think I prefer the style of cash flow rentals but in my area it seems like flips are just far easier to find.. 

However, if you personally like the style and get it at a good enough price, just enjoy it and you'll probably be able to sell it in the future if you price it right.

It's an opportunity for a listing agent to show you how knowledgeable they are.Some of the decisions you can make by keeping it to simple, timeless styles (white, hardwood, etc).

I'm sorry that happened to you, @Bob T..
