But before that, I want to know what is a good way to determine my purchasing power.

My husband and I had an offer accepted on our first duplex.

All of my properties are being managed by a property manager and it seems that I will get my owner draw one month AFTER the rent is paid. 

My name is Delmar, I have a lovely wife and 2 beautiful children under 3 years old.

(The current labor rate for my apprentice carpenter with 1 yr experience is $117/hr. 

My name is Michael and I'm a Realtor here in the DFW area and looking to get into the investing arena.

My next rental property in Northern Colorado is likely going to be an Oxford house.

My partner and I are currently hold 2 properties in the Glendale area that have done quite well.

I will hopefully be able to pay some of my debt next February which would in turn hopefully boost my credit score.So my question is: What do I do in the meantime?

My process is below. 1) Go to Recorder of Deeds of the county for liens 2) Go to Prothonotary case search of the county for municipal liens3) Put parcel number and search it. 4) Make sure you check tax claim bureau as well Use the Parcel number and Owner's name to search.
