@Lucia Rushton my reasoning is cheap/affordability realestate and it’s north texas which is cooler and a different environment than southern texas I have heard.

I know how this can go because I am an experienced fly fisherman, and whenever a fishing rookie posts something dumb in a fishing forum, people lambaste them.

However, when you look at Texas, it too is benefiting from low interest rates and federal government fiscal policy, but more so by the explosion of quality job growth, coupled with significant increase in population draw not only those seeking jobs but also from the accelerated retirement of the Baby Boomers seeking warmer climates, tax advantage environment and relative low cost of living.  

I appreciate that I might not be a big fish just yet, and a lot of lenders are really looking for someone who has larger deals and deeper pockets.  

We've added more private sector jobs added than any other state in the region in the past decade, given our favorable business tax environment.2.

In today's environment, if at all possible you want a month to month lease.

So if this is the scenario, then you would have to have one of the tenants relinquish their rights of occupying the property before you could close on the loan...and that will be just about impossible in this environment.  

By the time you see them on Zillow or Realtor they could have several offers on them in this current environment.  

We do not provide any equipment - fishing poles, rafts, tubes, etc.
