Vacancy maybe a little high too, homes in that range typically don't have any vacancy in DFW area. 

It was great because it has seasoned me, in many ways, to make quick "Go/No-Go" decisions, to not get too attached to potential assets, and to understand what criteria investors typically look for.

Just like some use national realtor/BPO firms (which I typically do not use).When I am working due diligence on a dozen assets, it’s easier to order them all through protitle then trying to find someone from any CountyOnce I get the report I have an attorney do itMy question is what will a local title company show on a report that protitle wouldn’t use ?

I have a feeling you'll get along well, engineers typically do :)I hope this helps!

Now, they don't typically give out 30 year fixed  loans  for commercial properties, this is something i am slowly learning, but then again thats something you can figure out along the way

Do not buy a house to live in while on active duty because they typically do not cash flow once you PCS.

Property managers typically charge between 8-10% of your gross rent, so if your property rents for $500 a month (low, just a nice round number) and your PM charges 10%, you will pay them $600 a year, which really isn't much for the service they provide.

I would be interested in what areas are hot and any A, B, C properties and typical cap rate type information.

Cap Ex and Repairs can typically be closer to 8-10% each.

Typically, a buyer can't/won't/shouldn't take control of a property until they close on it, because they do not own the property until they close.If you rent out some other person's property (or estate's, in this case), I hope you plan to get some sort of written agreement from the current owner/estate.
