For two years they were bringing in water with tanker trucks.

Tenants (like most people) often budget to the limit of their income.

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: So that's 7 months......now investors will have to add a bit into their flip budget to cover the extra 3 months (or so) holding costs... will make overall costs go up though... 

I am interested in Rowlet, Rcokwall, FAte, Royse city area and my budget less than $350K.Thank youDan

It really depends on what your budget and specific needs are.

Setting clear, achievable goals will help guide your decisions.When it comes to getting finances in order are you keeping a budget and know where every dollar you spend goes? 

The buy in is a lot more budget friendly and values are stable and growing.

We are preapproved for about 800k but our budget for our first property is between $400-500k and are comfortable putting $70-100k down (the lesser the better). 

I have an investor that has given me a large budget and I am closing on our first house Monday.

In my mind, this would include budget tracking/management, CRM for vendors, links to outside service vendors/resources along with a project management tool.
