So yesterday my partner and I finally analyzed two properties in our area - by leveraging the rental property calculator (what a tool). 

Finally if you had an opportunity like this how you go about it?

I'd let the BK finalize and educate myself on personal finance and this type of asset in the meantime. 

Tenant texts me today saying bring security deposit to final walkthrough or he can't move out.

Hi, I am looking to move to Texas for a few years and want to finally start buying and renting out property there.

However, when I went to do a final inspection tonight, he still hasn't finish packing and moving his belongings.

Hi BP as a longtime lurker-listener-reader, finally have some capital burning a hole in my mattress.I have been researching PA (Lehigh Valley: Allentown, Bethlehem etc.), but feel I’m a little late to the game since it seems that everyone in the Tri-State area swarmed there starting last year.Ideally looking for a small multi-fam which I can house hack, but also open to SFR’s as well, my main focus is on obtaining a property that produces a positive cash flow.Was hoping if anyone could provide some insight into how this market is currently faringOr Any general advice from those who have/are invested in the areaOr Any recommendations for specific nearby neighborhoods to research deeper within my price range (approx. 250-300K)Thank you all!

Perhaps you would have agreed to a month to month situation with 30 or 60 days when they finally close.

In the final analysis, it's not the corporate shield that saved him, but the state's homestead laws. 

Final numbers updated.
