The initial renovation budget was ~$30k, when all was said and done I spent $43k on the renovation.

Shameless plug:You can hit those numbers all day here in Bryan / College Station TX.

Hi, I have been on Biggerpockets and reading all the information i can get.We are getting ready to buy our first out of state investment property and looking in Austin.Looking for advise on which area is better, RR looks to be closer to the tech offices and some parts have great schools however Pflugerville is not too far either and schools are not abysmal like in proper Austin and the prices are lower.

Yes, on the original contract it states "My Company, or designated entity" and yes, I told my realtor it was being assigned, and also forwarded the assignment contract to title, all prior to the deal falling apart.Would that change things at all?

If you have all your vendors ready to go ahead of time and ways for them to get into the home if the tenant isn’t there you should be ok. 

Enjoy the day all!

Weather became a challenge, Portland had a huge ice storm in January when all my plumbing and electrical was going in.

Hi All.

Once the get all your info they can turn a PoF on deals for you real quick which is nice.

Biggest mistake I see investors/buyers in Denver or Colorado Springs make is that they get bogged down in finding the "best deal" and end up not buying at all.
