The Plan: buy, invest maybe $40-50,000 to catch up deferred maint and make improvements, raise rents a bunch, put back on the market.

It usually (but not always) catches the BP Meet up open house post.Good luck

@Brent Lenderman sorry it's been a bit and I'm catching up on old posts.

Looks like this group has monthly meetings, maybe I'll catch you at the next one?

The dynamic of San Antonio investor clubs has put a lot of bird dogs and wanna be's out there knocking on doors from foreclosure lists, sending direct mail, networking, etc.... all in the interest of catching the deal before it hits the open market.   

Once a tenant get behind on their rent they never catch up. 3.

The contractors attitudes pulled a 180, quality starting deteriorating, and we weren't home to catch it.

My local Home Depot has some nice 12 x 12 glass backsplash tiles for under $5 a sheet in several different colors; I've used these in several different houses behind ranges and sinks and covered large areas for under $100.I particularly like putting something behind ranges to catch the grease and "smoosh" that often ends up on walls; easier to clean off these glass tiles; cleaning the stuff off painted walls frequently results in paint removal.Gail

I spoke to their case worker and he painted the picture that is too good to be true.So I'm trying to figure out where is the catch?

My wife was worried that the house might catch fire.
