While it appears some of these markets are “cash” it is (was) heavily fueled by cheap money in the developed world and those cash buyers will be drying up real fast, especially since 2 year treasuries are now approaching 4 percent.

TL/DR - I bought a 3.5 down FHA Duplex, I'll be living in one side and renting out the other.

I am wondering if i should have gone with a hard money lender .. i just found and had my financial partner purchase a property here in Central Fl .. the BPO's ( 3 of them ) all came back at arv of around $130k to sell quickly .. all said within 30 days .. ( the market is hot and dry here ..no punn intended ) the original purchase price was $45k but after a inspection ( really just had a few contractors though ) i renegotiated the sales price down to $34.5  with the seller paying $500 of the $1100 in clising costs .. the qoutes from the Gc's were around $45k but thats when the whole roof was to be torn off and replaced ..

However, inventory has been dry, it's a seller's market, and prices continue to climb.  

If you didn't know or hear, cash flow is drying up because of interest rates, but there are ways to still build a consistent, long term portfolio.

The Texas Property code isn't the most fun to read but it is pretty cut and dry (always go to the source document!). 

Always good to keep tabs on the property, and to prevent issues from arising for example, wood rot, ac drain line/filer cleaning etc. 

Hi,Lately I have been seeing a lot of boat slips & dry dock storage for sale.  

Once you remove it, wash walls & sand them after drying.

Mold, rotted studs, old roof, bad hvac, dirty and disgusting.
