2nd piece is the house hack...We think best course of action would be to have an investor friend we know buy the house in cash, once we are done with renovations, we then take out a full mortgage on the house to cover whatever he paid for it and then pay him back with some interest.

I am trying to figure out what the best thing to do for a friend is in the situation outlined below:Home Value $570kowed 1st mort $496k (current loan was modified and principal reduction completed for $100k reallocated in form of balloon payment at end of loan term)no 2ndarrears $30kIn process of going through bankruptcy, however, want to complete a lease with option to buy. 

Hello I’m looking for real estate agents in the above markets so I can implement Brrrr strategies. I look forward to meeting you.

I'm currently looking to network with more investor friendly real estate agents in the San Antonio area, specifically focusing in the Northeast section of San Antonio.I'm looking for single family homes within the $70,000 - $160,000 that need a pretty considerable amount of TLC and rehab with the intent to BRRRR them or flip them. 

A friend told me about a piece of real estate in foreclosure, that was a Fannie Mae property listed as part of the First Look program, on Zillow and an auction site.  

If it doesn't stipulate the provisions for breaking the lease, you know it needs to be in there for next time.If things have been going smoothly and friendly, consider returning some pro-rated fraction of the deposit.Most importantly, you probably need the advice of a competent RE attorney ...

Has anyone used RLT to try and fill vacancies? What have your experiences been?

Basing in the Anatole resort until I find out where I want to be.Any realtors or friendly locals want to make a friend (and a free coffee!)

Hi NancyNet from deal, minus business expenses (incl mileage, business overhead, education, travel to 'find' more business, etc) = taxable income.Get an investor friendly CPA/tax person to instruct on all your write-offs, and take them.

Friends and family advised not to buy it, because they wouldn't buy it.
