I've paid $6 per square foot for 6 of the last 10 houses I bought. 

Let me know what I can do to assist you in DFW area.Waxahachie is a bit out of my wheelhouse, but was there this last week.What do you need done?

This wont be our last site in this town.

@Adam HutchisonI have started investing in the Davenport, IA, area in the last year.

Studying Zillow over the last month, single story 4-plex are rare to find in the TX markets I've been searching & analyzing.

But, you could also spend double or more in the long run if you don't buy nice-ish furniture that will last and upstand all the traffic that will come through.

I'd also increase the number of builders you interview. on my last project I gave 85 builders a chance to match my number since I carry a license and only 2 could get to my numbers. 

My husband and I started our journey last year with a house hack and 2 long-term rentals (after an exhaustive review of all options), there’s a lot to consider and ultimately need to ladder up to your short and long term goals, as well as your lifestyle (esp with kiddos). 

They will get at least your last 2 months of bank statements to source where that money is coming from.

Finally I'd pay a professional tub reglazer 200-250 to reglaze the tub white and maybe have him also reglaze the entire surround while he is at it to cover up the cracks and imperfections. most reglazing jobs by guys who know what they are doing last 3-5 years.
