I'd love to one day be able to find some individuals to work with on deals, with my ideal type being one where I'm the partner that handles the project/property management, being the one who deals with all of the day-to-day annoyances since I have so little monetary capital to offer.As of right now, my market focus is on all of West Houston (Katy, Cypress, Magnolia, Tomball, Sugar Land, etc.), and I primarily look at REO properties due to the inherent extra room for cash flow with their lower prices.

What an a-hole, picking on poor misunderstood workingmen!

Also have plumber do tests before the foundation company closes the holes in the foundation.

I just want to be an Agent for about 3-5 years and then possibly become a broker giving me the opportunities to learn the ins and outs, tips, tricks and loop holes of Real estate.

Brick walls are designed to breathe (research weep holes) and you don't want to block the weeps.

Better to be pleasantly surprised and get a bonus profit, than bid the other way guessing it is all ok and be $10,000 in the hole or more if you have to replace HVAC and fix plumbing issues.

Put it all in gold in a hole in her backyard.

This applies to every investment. for those starting out there is no way they are going to get around personal guarantee's unless its seller financing and seller is not too aware ( which is often) so maybe not a monetary risk but certainly a fico risk and risk of a judgement against them personally.. 

Congrats on the psycho tenants.Your honor, Speedy Gonzalez clearly ate into my sons Buzz Lightyear box and chewed a hole in our stocking as well!

@Arian Doaks, I'd first find out if the fear is valid by running your idea past a handful of seasoned business-persons you know and ask them to shoot holes in the idea.
