Some HOA's can be way overboard but those are few and far between.You might want to stay away from older houses and lower income tenants.

In this way every year to raise rent 3% the investor tends to stay in the bottom of the market rent levels.If the investor is paying for a property based on top market rents then that rent market has to keep going up very strong to compensate.

I’d stay away for now.

Correction: Bk court lifted stay so that I could foreclose after I gave them proof of Quitclaim prior to loan modification.

If you think you’ll stay in TN a long time you can buy cash flow rentals in Memphis and long term appreciation rentals in Nashville.

Rent out the current condo and purchase another home in San Diego with a VA loan.Scenario #3: stay in the condo and do a cash out refi and use that money to invest in a market I know well that has good cash flow.There could be a 4th scenario which would be where I use what’s left of my VA entitlement to purchase a second property but that would only give me roughly 260k to spend and that doesn’t get you much out here in San Diego.

If you are confident something shady is happening, you can file a complaint with TREC. https://www.trec.texas.gov/public/how-file-complai...It has to be written - TREC will follow up with them and it will stay on their record.

Doing the latter here could get you an ethics violation.Dont do these things if you want to stay in business. 

LOL Just kidding.....but we are going to have to seperate those two.....if not, it looks like the fit is gonna hit the shan and someone's gonna have to stay after school for detention!!

The fact the company stayed on for 6-months after the sale shows they are at least somewhat concerned with the quality of their product.
