The typical rent in my area is $650 -2 BR and $725-3BR

The last tenant we signed, I paid for 50% of the build out because the tenant signed a 10 year lesser and was a national brand.

I ran a FB campaign with only $150 just to test, and got one lead out of it, so I agree with you that this amount for the budget should be much higher.Also I am working on a Free E-book to put on the web site, but you are absolutely right, that this may be good content to put in some ads.

The only time you could use proposed rental income is if you have history of renting properties for at least 2 years which would show on your schedule E on tax returns.I live in Roanoke, Tx and I'm pretty familiar with several different markets in the North Dallas area.

Ok so what if  you find a property that was just renovated with new HVAC, floors, roof, gutters, kitchen, bathroom, etc.. to be like brand new?

But it is still possible to make it work.At this point I would suggest you talking to seller to find out:(1) What sort of condition is the inside of the house(2) How much do they owe in back paymentsYou can e-mail me if you want.

But, in the meantime, I am studying and researching right here on BP; and, await @Bob E. 

I fund theses types of deals (usually 60/40 depending on the deal and the flipper's experience) and is a great way to start to build your portfolio and brand.
