I do have a wholesaler wholesaling me the deal and I will in turn wholesale to another person.

After all was done the neighbors apologized for over reacting and I was now out $2400. eye roll.My personal thoughts are the danger is over blown.

Until the foreclosure is complete, the owner is the only person who can sell this property to you. 

I recommend styling your tables, adding a theme and just making the property have more personality.

Hello, I am thinking about looking to Invest in Austin area single family residential property in the next 6 months to one year.I am also thinking about 3 bedroom 2+ bath which may typically within the range of investment.Since its going to be for Rental, what is the preferred in Austin area for renting out, is it single storey house with 3 bedrooms with 1500+ Sqft or two storey with 2000+ sqft and upstair bedrooms?

The answer to that question depends on your personal wants, needs, and goals for you and your loved ones.

Speaking from personal experience!

Diversity of portfolio is good for maintaining capital but if you're having success in one area I would continue with it until you have enough capital that needs to be diversified and then seek out professionals in those spaces who can benefit from helping secure your capital in other asset classes, personal opinion!

I charge 10% of the monthly rent, and if I have to go to the property in person for a routine inspection or to oversee a large job or high ticket estimate, Its $25/hr + $0.50/mile driven.Hiring a professional manager is ideal if you dont have the patience, mental space, or availability to receieve random spur of the moment repair and emergency requests.

I personally would be their agent, but I am very hesitant to partner with people unless I have fully vetted them.I would be their agent on a few deals, and then you would decide if you want to partner with them.
