Where was I...Find a good contract, and find a good investor friendly attorney (closing agent).These are just a minimal set of steps... but consider this..and I said this before when I was still like you.. a mere mortal...Imagine a curved stair way.

I'd choose Killeen over Temple, but again, I grew up here and maybe my family and friend townies are just staying around this area.

I've seen the power of Reonomy through a my good friend @Hadar Orkibi.

I had a friend cancel a lease on 5 kids for just this issue. 

The best gift is to use them again, and to recommend them to all of your friends and your family and give them great reviews. 

My friend was given a house when his dad past.my doesn't want the home. i need some help with financing options.

I've had a recent situation, this is in Georgia and every state's different, where one of my tenants let a 'friend' stay and that friend then refused to move out after 2 weeks. 

I manage long distance, have contractors on speed dial, and several college friends I can call to run over to the house if needed for 50 bucks a trip. 

I have heard great things about them from my friends in Houston. 

Ask friends, local groups, builders, online forums, meetups, investor groups, visit flip job sites, etc.
