Are there any other taxing authorities who may be assessing taxes on the property (some counties have city taxes and water assessments and school taxes and other local taxes - if you dont know to ask the operator won't tell you)7.

The home is/was in immaculate shape and in a very desirable school district.  

These are 3 med school students so I'm fairly certain they aren't trying to involved legally with their landlord over splitting water.

Which renders you subject to business, net profit, and school tax filings each year. 

Recently purchased my own house for $260k, 3/2 on a quarter acre with a pool, down the street from a park and in a good school district with low crime, and could definitely get $1,500 rent for it.Although, at $250k purchase price, 25% down and a 5% interest rate (typical for investment properties) your monthly mortgage payment will be roughly $1,340 per month.

I just came back from a business trip at Wharton school of business at UPenn University.The instructors one had built 50 centers from the ground up and another had developed over 40 million sq ft of retail in their career.

I would suggest to start looking at real estate that you are potentially moving to in Texas, what are the school districts like, what are average rent prices and how much house can you get for the money.

Hi can anyone help me I will be purchasing a flat or house for my sonwho has just finished schooling in the StatesI can buy cash up to $120000 dollars the rest if need would have to be a loan on the propertyI am an investor that has property in the UK but would like to learn the purchasing methods legals etcCan anyone help ?

There are places where 2% or better is possible and the neighborhood and schools are still good but they will most likely need a little work and are usually bank owned properties.

Sorry for the long intro, on to the topic.We are going to look for a property to purchase in our expensive market by my standards (300 K-400 K) for a decent place in good school districts of South Tampa in the next year.
