What to specifically pay attention to according to the tests?  

My coworkers scoffed at me for moving and investing there in 2009-2012, but because I did that then I can now afford raise my family near the beach.

But I would begin with raising a stink with your agent and the sellers agent to get the items they agreed to fix taken care of.

This raised red flags for me so I decided to ask you guys.

I was born and raised in Dallas Texas.  

But I would assume that those forms might not be as thorough as the forms Brandon put in his book because he has made them after experiencing a lot BS as a landlord and designed them to make sure those new found issues raised by tenants are covered in the lease or Rules and Regs forms...

After firing a few unnecessary employees and raising rents, the year 1 NOI was well over $100,000.  

Pete- obviously it's up to you, but I love having my own access to MLS.Not sure about your area, but between taking a pre-license class, state test, etc and then paying to join your local association and pay MLS dues, it could cost you $1,500-$2,000 or more to get started (at least in Florida).The nice thing is that you can set up a daily hot sheet for whatever area you desire that will show you all the newest listings and price changes.

You might have noticed the 130 ft flag raised recently.
