Snake oil salesman, like father of the founder of Rockefeller dynasty who literally sold snake oil and ran from town to town, would be someone like Kiyosaki who charges $30K for courses to teach things about RE that one could learn on this forum for free.

Turns out the house is in a great part of town local to us and we see ourselves living there.

I would say the only people that could sell their property for market value or higher are people that have cookie cutter homes (ie Condos, town homes or homes in HOA communities and where homes are renovated).

-I live in a modest apartment in the center of the Denton square- Denton Tx is a college town and there are many renters, especially college studentsMy question is, if you were in my situation, what is the best first move here?

If the remedy was designed by a qualified professional, the work carried out be an experienced contractor, the work was permitted and inspected by the town, then the value reduction would be zero.

Well no one is biting probably because I only listed it on the local reia website and everyone is not wanting small towns.

Every month the local ABC television affiliate highlights evictions on a large scoreboard, showcasing which buildings and parts of town see the most of them.

You'll quickly narrow your search based upon what's feasible and a part of town where you want to be. 

@Tanner Johnson  Surprised a town of 30k would be considered rural.

I know one of the main qualifiers is it has to be owner occupied - which is fine.Will there be any issues with this second purchase being in the same town as my first MF home?
