After all is done, several thousands grands gain with all the stress from dealing with the contractor and gambling with the market, would it worth it?

Thanks again for sharing and looking forward to the next deal you do - it will probably be a GRAND SLAM!! 

Sounds like you only have a few grand to go so you do have options, its nit like you need to come across 10s of thousands.

Still dirt cheap to control the asset, but not just a few grand. 

Listings are GOLD money in the bank. it takes a few grand to be a realtor..

Cost to build apartment building will be roughly (USD $300 per m2) for a grand total of USD 390000 "llave en mano" keys in your hand contract.

Where I am it's $50.00 for filing fees and an attorney will probably charge 500 to a grand.

Garland, Mesquite, Arlington, Grand Prairie, Euless, North Richland Hills, and pockets of Fort Worth and Irving are good starting points.

Pretty much anywhere along The grand Parkway (99) is good.

How quick you're able to save up money will be a factor - but I'd not be in a hurry to get ahead of yourself - waiting til your lease is up is a very small period of time to be patient with in the grand scheme of your life.
