Texas is preseason #3 next year according to Vitale!

Meaning do you have access to data that will let you know their monthly income, assets, cash flow, and spending habits?

The key to life is patience and tenacity; if you start giving up so quickly on your steady work income so early; what's going to keep you interested in real estate; it gets pretty monotonous at times too, with paperwork, relationships with people you may not like; and other life issues;  you are young and handsome and have a lot going for you, but please do not start the "HABIT" of quitting. 

I believe the appraiser was biased, the house needed a real good cleaning to be habitable, but it definitely wasn't a C-5.

Positive cash flow is vital if you are planning to grow your portfolio and obtain wealth through real estate investing.

Buying rental properties is a skill and even habit you develop over time. 

Tenant screening is vital.

@Nick Bleser I would keep it month to month until you get to know them and their habits better.

Do the cosmetics and definitely make sure it's habitable so you don't get into any trouble in the future.

@Travis Cannon my other recommendation is while BP is great and offers amazing value on their books, if all you have to invest is $1500 and you’re spending $80 on books before you’ve listened to every free podcast or webinar you have, then you need to re-evaluate your spending habits.
